    • Three Officers on Bench: Notably, three senior bureaucrats—Special Chief Secretary Y. Srilakshmi (Municipal Administration and Urban Development), Rajat Bhargava (Revenue – Excise), and Praveen Prakash (School Education)—were not assigned new postings. Instead, they were directed to report to the General Administration Department (GAD).
