Just a day ahead of the announcement of Lok Sabha elections-2024 and the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) enforced in the state, Sai government took a major decision in front of bureaucracy and on Friday it reshuffled 36 Indian Forest Service (IFS) officers.
By carrying out such a major surgery in the forest department, the government attempted to give a message to the whole administration that it can take stern decisions and bold steps any time. Meanwhile, the impact of a surprising decision can be felt easily across the whole bureaucracy.
