A complete overhaul of the Social Development Department has been undertaken. This department handles rehabilitation and resettlement of project-affected persons. As part of the restructuring, 16 officials have been transferred. The transfers range from a Deputy Collector to a peon.

The action came after a surprise inspection found unauthorised persons on the premises and certain procedural shortcomings. A review of the department's functioning was subsequently directed and a wider restructuring ordered.

Further details about the overhaul and the events leading to it are available from the source. The Metropolitan Commissioner, an IAS officer, conducted the surprise inspection that prompted the administrative action.
