In a decisive move, the Election Commission of India (ECI) on Saturday mandated the transfer of Tamil Nadu's Home Secretary, Dheeraj Kumar. K Manivasan, a 1993 batch IAS officer, has been appointed as his replacement and instructed to take over immediately.
The ECI specified that Kumar should refrain from any election-related postings until the electoral process in Tamil Nadu concludes. This change follows the ECI’s earlier directive to transfer the state's Chief Secretary, N Muruganandam, appointing senior IAS officer M Sai Kumar in his stead.
Furthermore, the Greater Chennai Police Commissioner A Arun was replaced by the 1997 batch IPS officer Abhin Dinesh, underscoring the commission's comprehensive approach to ensuring administrative neutrality during elections.
