Daijiworld Media Network – Bangalore (SP)
Bangalore, Jan 26: Karnataka chief minister D V Sadananda Gowda on Wednesday January 25 took the bold step of transferring 27 IAS and 24 IPS officers on a single day, towards giving the state administration a much-needed impetus. He also succeeded in getting two officers of his choice to his secretariat.
Gowda, who is perceived to have acted against the wishes of former chief minister B S Yeddyurappa in going ahead with these transfers, has got Ponnuraj, deputy commissioner of Shimoga district, and C V Yashwant, who was serving energy department, to his secretariat in the capacity of joint secretaries.
By this action, he has indicated that he wants to move those loyal to Yeddyurappa outside his office. It is learnt that before these transfers were given effect, heated discussions were held in the cabinet meeting.
In the reshuffle, Y S Ravikumar has been transferred as superintendent of police of Dharwad district from Udupi, while M B Boralingaiah will occupy his place. Ram Niwas Sepat has been transferred from Kundapur to Kolar district as superintendent of police.
The transferred officers include directors of departments, deputy commissioners of districts, and chief executive officers of zilla panchayats.
