Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh:
In a significant administrative reshuffle, the Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh government has transferred 33 IAS officers, marking one of the biggest bureaucratic changes in recent months. Among the notable names, Shishir Singh, who held the post of Director of the Information Department for several years, has been transferred, creating a buzz in political and administrative circles.
Shishir Singh Appointed as Special Secretary in MSME Department
Shishir Singh, known for his long tenure and influential presence in the state’s Information Department, has now been posted as the Special Secretary in the Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (MSME) Department. His move comes after a prolonged period of leadership in the media and public relations arm of the UP government.
Reshuffle Aims to Bring Fresh Energy into Key Departments
According to government sources, the reshuffle was aimed at bringing fresh perspectives and administrative dynamism into critical departments. Several long-standing officials have been reassigned new roles, which is being seen as a strategic step in the run-up to future policy implementation and electoral considerations.
Late-Night Transfer Order Includes 33 IAS Officers
The transfer orders were issued late on Monday night, affecting 33 Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officers. The reshuffle reflects the government’s effort to restructure the administrative machinery and ensure more effective governance across departments.
Public and Political Reactions Mixed
While some welcomed the changes as necessary for improved efficiency, others viewed the transfer of Shishir Singh as a surprising decision given his longstanding service and achievements in the Information Department. However, his new role in MSME is also considered a strategically important position as the state continues to promote entrepreneurship and industrial growth.
