In a significant administrative shake-up ahead of the 2025 Assembly elections, the Bihar government has announced a major bureaucratic reshuffle. Among the key changes, Anil Chaudhary (IAS, 2011) has been posted as Special Secretary in the Home Department, having been transferred from his earlier role as Commissioner of Madhubani Municipal Corporation.
The overhaul involves transfers across multiple cadres, affecting:
- 6 IAS officers
- 5 IPS officers
- 102 Bihar Administrative Service (BAS) officers
- 2 Bihar Police Service officers
Other notable IAS transfers include:
- Abhilasha Sharma (IAS 2017): Appointed District Magistrate, Arwal (formerly Joint Secretary, Urban Development & Housing)
- Kumar Gaurav (IAS 2017): Posted as Additional Executive Director, State Health Society (former DM, Arwal)
- Upendra Prasad (IAS 2013): Moved as Additional Secretary, GAD
In the realm of policing, 5 IPS officers were also repositioned, with key postings including roles like SP Arwal, Rail SP Patna, and Special Branch assignments.
This reshuffle reflects a concerted effort to realign administrative leadership across Bihar in the run-up to crucial political timelines.
