The Maharashtra government on Thursday transferred Chief Electoral Officer Baldev Singh (IAS:1989:MH) and appointed him as the Principal Secretary of the Industries Department.
According to sources, the general administration department had already written to the Election Commission of India, requesting that Baldev Singh be relieved of his current duties. It has now recommended three names – Shrikant Deshpande (IAS:1991:MH), Anand Limaye (IAS:1989:MH) and Aseem Gupta (IAS:1994:MH) – as probables to succeed Singh to the post, the sources added.
B Venugopal Reddy (1994), Principal Secretary of the Industries Department, has been appointed as the Managing Director of SICOM Ltd.
