The Akhilesh Yadav government has implemented a major reshuffle involving over 60 IAS and IPS officers, including CEO of Greater NOIDA and SSP of Gautam Buddha Nagar.
"The government has transferred 23 IAS and 42 IPS officers, including divisional commissioners, district magistrates, ADG, IGs, SSPs and SPs late last night," an official spokesman said in Lucknow.
The move came soon after after Samajwadi Party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav asked the UP administration to pull up its socks and said party leaders and bureaucrats should serve people instead of concentrating on making money.
