Bhubaneswar: 2/4/24:The Election Commission of India (ECI) has issued a letter to the Odisha Chief Secretary, directing for the immediate transfer of several IAS and IPS officers in various districts of Odisha before the ensuing 2024 elections.

Accordingly, two Collectors, five SPs, and one IG have been asked to be immediately transferred to non-election-related posts.

Following is the list of officers transferred:

  • DM and DEO Cuttack Vineet Bharadwaj
  • DM and DEO Jagatsinghpur Parul Patwari
  • IPS Ashish Kumar Singh (IG Central)
  • Sundargarh SP Kanwar Vishal Singh
  • Khordha SP Jugal Kishore Banoth
  • Rourkela SP Mitrabhanu Mohapatra
  • Berhampur SP S. Vivek Kumar
  • Angul SP Sudhanshu Sekhar Mishra

The decision came after several political parties alleged bias on the part of several officers who were misusing their position and working for a particular party.

The ECI had earlier issued transfer orders for non-cadre officers who were posted at leadership positions as District Magistrate (DM) and Superintendent of Police (SP) of Deogarh and Cuttack Rural.
