Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): A 1990-batch IAS officer, Alka Upadhyay, who is on deputation to the Centre and an aspirant for the post of chief secretary in the state, was shifted to the loop line.
Upadhyay, who was secretary to the Animal Husbandry and Dairy Department, was shifted as secretary to the National Minority Commission.
The posting of a secretary to a commission is not considered good. Similarly, 1992-batch IAS officer VL Kantarao, posted in Delhi as secretary, has also been transferred.
Kantarao, who was secretary to mines, was shifted as secretary to the water resources, river development and Ganga rejuvenation department.
Kantarao was transferred just a day before the mining conclave in the state.
