In a major bureaucratic reshuffle, senior IAS officer Bipul Pathak (IAS:1992:AGMUT) has been appointed as the Principal Secretary (Home) for the Government of NCT of Delhi.

Pathak was previously serving as Additional Chief Secretary in Delhi, handling key portfolios such as Finance, Planning and Industries. He is widely recognised for his long administrative experience, particularly in Jammu & Kashmir, where he played pivotal roles in governance and policy execution.

The Principal Secretary (Home) post is considered one of the most critical assignments in Delhi, responsible for law and order, public safety, and coordination of core government functions. His appointment is being seen as a strategic step to strengthen administrative efficiency in the capital.

With his diverse background across multiple departments, Pathak is expected to bring a holistic perspective to the Home Department, at a time when governance in Delhi is under sharp focus. This move is part of broader efforts to streamline decision-making and enhance the effectiveness of the city’s bureaucracy.
