September 09, 2016
Gandhinagar: In two Gujarat Administrative Service(GAS) cadre transfers announced by the State government, existing Joint Director(Education) DM Solanki has been transferred and placed as Additional Director(Development) in Commissionerate of Geology and Mining in Gandhinagar.
Prant Officer of Ankleshwar in District Bharuch Shri DM Sukla has been transferred and placed as Additional Director(Flying Squad) in Commissionerate of Geology and Mining in Gandhinagar.
Government circles describe this move as decisive action by Chief Minister himself, as both Solanki and Shukla are considered strict and honest officers.
“Both officers will work under and help the recently appointed Commissioner Shri Roopwant Singh in cleaning up the mining department,” said a government official.
It should be mentioned that ports, mining are some of the departments in government that if function uprightly can add huge revenue to government exchequer.
During cabinet formation CM Rupani had dropped then high-profile minister who was holding corruption-ridden mining portfolio.
