On Wednesday, a total of 49 officers, comprising 11 IAS officers, received their transfer orders mere hours before the implementation of the model code of conduct for the upcoming Panchayat elections. In this reshuffle, Gurpreet Singh Aulakh has been appointed as the new Deputy Commissioner for Tarn Taran, while V N Zade, who was recently repatriated to Punjab, has been assigned the role of Secretary Expenditure. This marks the third instance of large-scale officer transfers within a two-week period, suggesting a significant restructuring of the civil administration in the state.
Punjab Government has transferred 11 IAS and 38 PCS officers in preparation for the Panchayat elections.
