CHANDIGARH — In a targeted administrative reshuffle, the Haryana government has transferred seven Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officers, realigning senior leadership across key urban development bodies, municipal corporations, and state secretariat departments.
At the top tier, the orders execute a direct exchange between Dushyant Kumar Behera (2007) and Phool Chand Meena (2004). Behera, previously serving as Commissioner and Secretary, Human Resources and General Administration, takes charge as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of both the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) and the Faridabad Metropolitan Development Authority (FMDA). In turn, Meena, the outgoing CEO of GMDA and FMDA, assumes Behera’s former role as Commissioner and Secretary, Human Resources Department and General Administration.
Across municipal and departmental roles, Pankaj (2020) has been named Municipal Commissioner and District Municipal Commissioner of Gurugram, replacing Pradeep Dahiya (2013), who moves to head the Haryana State Federation of Cooperative Sugar Mills as Managing Director alongside serving as Director of the State Audit Department. Meanwhile, Ankita Choudhary (2019) has been posted as Municipal Commissioner and District Municipal Commissioner of Panipat. Elsewhere, Shakti Singh (2012) takes over as Director, Sports, with additional responsibilities as Special Secretary for Sports, Human Resources, and General Administration, while Mohd.
