Major IAS reshuffle in Bihar — Eight IAS officers get new roles

The Bihar government recently reassigned several senior IAS officers: C K Anil has been posted as Principal Secretary, Revenue and Land Reforms; Mihir Kumar Singh is now Development Commissioner; and other officers have been reassigned to Industries, Water Resources, Commercial Tax, Transport and divisional commissioner roles. This reshuffle is viewed as a strategic administrative overhaul to enhance governance efficiency and streamline departmental accountability. The restructuring covers a wide range of departments — from land reforms to industry and tax — reflecting a broad administrative reset possibly timed ahead of elections. Observers note the move aims to revitalize department performance, ensure fresh oversight, and reduce bureaucratic inertia across key state functions.
