According to an order issued by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) on Monday (March 30, 2026), the competent authority has approved her appointment to the post for a period of five years from the date of taking over charge of the post or until further orders, whichever is earlier.

Puspendra Singh (ISS:2013), currently serving as Deputy Secretary in the Department of Social Justice and Empowerment, has been prematurely repatriated to his parent cadre.
According to an order issued by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) on March 28, the competent authority has approved the proposal of the Department of Social Justice and Empowerment to repatriate him to his parent cadre on personal grounds with the provision of extended cooling-off.
He has been serving in the position since February 2024.
His central deputation tenure began on June 11, 2023, when he was appointed as Private Secretary to Minister of State for Tribal Affairs Renuka Singh.
However, he was later placed on compulsory wait and subsequently assigned his current responsibilities in the Department of Social Justice and Empowerment.
Maharashtra cadre IAS officer Tukaram Mundhe (IAS:2005:MH), widely regarded as a dynamic officer, has come to be known for a bizarre reason. Often referred to as ‘Singham’ within administrative circles, this IAS officer has been transferred for the record 24th time in 21 years, raising questions about the functioning of the system.
This has happened despite the fact that throughout his 21-year-long career, Mundhe has stuck to transparency and discipline in every role he held. He is known for taking firm action, whether it involved tackling absenteeism among employees under him or addressing officials working under political pressure.
His uncompromising approach is widely believed to be a key reason behind his frequent transfers.
In the latest, the 24th transfer, Mundhe has been moved from the post of Secretary of the Disability Welfare Department to that of the Principal Secretary in the Ministry, handling crucial portfolios, including Disaster Management, Relief and Rehabilitation, and the Revenue and Forest departments.
During his tenure as Secretary of the Disability Welfare Department, he addressed numerous pending cases and brought to light long-standing irregularities within the system. Yet he was removed from this position.
With his latest appointment, Mundhe has been entrusted with critical and sensitive departments such as Disaster Management and Rehabilitation.
As per administrative norms, an officer is expected to serve a minimum tenure of three years in a single post, but Mundhe’s average tenure has been approximately one year, a pattern that continues with his latest transfer this year.
Mundhe’s repugnance for political interference seems to have not always gone well with those in positions of political power leading to his frequent transfers.
It is to be seen how his distinctive ‘Mundhe style’ of functioning and administrative control shape these departments in the coming time.
Kunal Kashyap (IRS-C&CE:2008), currently serving as Commissioner (Housing) in the Delhi Development Authority (DDA), has been prematurely repatriated to his parent cadre.
According to an order issued by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) on March 27, the competent authority has approved the proposal of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) to repatriate him to his parent cadre to avail the benefit of promotion.
Kunal Kashyap has been serving in the position since February 2024. His two-year extended tenure was to expire in November 2027, but he has been repatriated earlier.
Before joining the DDA, he served as Chief Assessor & Collector in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD).
The Karnataka High Court has asked the state government to grant the necessary approval to prosecute the controversial senior IAS officer, Rohini Sindhuri (IAS:2009:KN), in the eco-friendly bags procurement case. Sindhuri was Mysuru’s Deputy Commissioner (DC) and MD of Karnataka Handloom Development Corporation (KHDC) at the time when the scam took place.
While asking the state govt for prosecution approval, Justice M. Nagaprasanna noted that on the basis of material placed on record, the spectre of corruption once raised must be allowed to unfold through the process of investigation to ascertain the truth.
The petitioner, NR Ravinchandre Gowda, had filed the case under the Prevention of Corruption Act seeking prosecution of Sindhuri, alleging that a Rs 7.5 crore loss was caused to the state govt in the purchase of eco-friendly bags in 2021. Reddy alleged that under a solid waste management project, eco-friendly bags were procured for various local bodies in the Mysuru district by paying Rs 52 per bag against the prevailing market rate of Rs 13 and filed a complaint with the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) seeking action against Sindhuri.
But the state govt declined permission to prosecute her on Sept 19, 2022, following which Gowda challenged it in the High Court.
The High Court had directed the state govt on Feb 20, 2025, to consider the request afresh. But the govt again declined approval on May 26, 2025, saying the officer was exonerated in the departmental inquiry proceedings.
It forced Gowda to approach the High Court again, on which the court observed that departmental proceedings and criminal prosecution are governed by distinct standards of proof and objectives, and the closure of one does not ipso facto extinguish the other.
The judge also remarked that the govt, instead of undertaking a meaningful re-evaluation, chose to reiterate its earlier position, and in the circumstances, a further remand would only prolong the process.
