The Gujarat government on Sunday transferred Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation commissioner Vijay Nehra (IAS:2001:GJ). In a rare instance, Mukesh Kumar (IAS:1995:GJ) has been re-appointed as municipal commissioner of Ahmedabad for the second time since he left office in July 2018. Nehra has been transferred to the post of commissioner, rural development and relieved Manoj Aggarwal (IAS:1990:GJ), principal secretary, social justice department, from additional charge.
A few weeks back on May 5, Kumar was brought in as in-charge commissioner of the civic body, after Nehra self-quarantined following coming in contact with a Covid-19 positive colleague. Additional chief secretary Rajiv Gupta (IAS:1986:GJ) was put as the overall in-charge of the city.
