Delhi Government Transfers Health Secretary Amid Ongoing Procurement Investigation
The Delhi government has officially transferred its Health Secretary, an IAS officer named Thakur, while he remains under investigation for alleged procurement lapses. Thakur will retain his existing role as CEO of the Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board.
The Delhi government has issued an official order transferring the city's Health Secretary. The officer involved, a 2006-batch IAS officer identified as Thakur, is currently the subject of an investigation regarding irregularities in procurement processes.
While the transfer removes him from his health-related responsibilities, the order specifies that Thakur will continue to serve as the Chief Executive Officer of the Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUSIB). He had previously been holding the DUSIB position as an additional charge alongside his duties as Health Secretary.
The order was issued by the Delhi Services Department. No official statement has been released by the government regarding the specific timeline for the conclusion of the procurement probe or the identity of the officer who will replace Thakur in the health department. The transfer comes at a time of heightened scrutiny regarding administrative appointments and departmental oversight within the Delhi government.
