In yet another major bureaucratic reshuffle, the state government transferred six departmental secretaries on Thursday, with the big names among these being Milind Mhaiskar and B Venugopal Reddy.
In another important development, Harshdeep Kamble, who had earlier been appointed the general manager of the Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport Undertaking (BEST) has now been posted as the principal secretary of the social justice department. It means the BEST will get a new GM. The crucial civic undertaking remains headless after the transfer of the erstwhile GM Anil Diggikar.
On December 24, Pune District Collector Suhas Diwase, who had raised objections over the protocol issues of the sacked LAS officer Pooja Khedkar, has been promoted and appointed the settlement commissioner and director of land records in Pune.
