Earlier in the day, the state home department issued the transfer order of Harda SP Sanjeev Kanchan.
The IPS officer has been moved to the state police headquarters in Bhopal as Assistant Inspector General (AIG), said the order.
An explosion ripped through the fireworks factory located in the Bairagarh locality on the outskirts of Harda town, around 150km from Bhopal, and caused a massive blaze on Tuesday morning.
The state government has constituted a three-member committee headed by Additional Chief Secretary (Home) to conduct a detailed probe into the explosion.
