Event Summary

The India — Election Commission of India ordered a significant administrative reshuffle in India — West Bengal, removing Chief Secretary Nandini Chakravarty and Home Secretary Jagdish Prasad Meena. Dushyant Nariala was appointed as the new Chief Secretary, and Sanghamitta was named Principal Secretary, Home and Hill Affairs. This decision was made hours after the announcement of the India — West Bengal assembly poll schedule and followed a review of the state's poll preparedness. The move aims to ensure administrative impartiality during the upcoming elections, especially in light of criticisms from the India — Trinamool Congress, led by Mamata Banerjee, regarding the ongoing SIR exercise.
