The Andhra Pradesh government on Monday issued an order for a shuffle in the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD), appointing P Basant Kumar (IAS:2007:AP) as the new Joint Executive Officer (JEO) of the board, which oversees affairs of the richest Hindu temple in the world.

Kumar’s predecessor, K S Sreenivasa Raju (IAS:2001:AP), who had been holding the post for close to eight years now, has been transferred and asked to report to the state government’s General Administration Department for further posting.

Basant Kumar was earlier working as the Commissioner of the Visakhapatnam Metropolitan Region Development Authority (VMRDA).
