“The Madhya Pradesh government has filled the posts of two district Collectors and as many superintendents of police (SPs) in the State, which fell vacant after the officials were transferred following the Election Commission of India’s (ECI) directives,” an official said.
The ECI, on October 11, ordered the transfer of several top police and administrative officers, including 25 police commissioners and superintendents of police, nine district Magistrates and four Secretaries and Special Secretaries, in the five poll-going States - Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Telangana and Mizoram - after finding laxity in their work.
In Madhya Pradesh, four officers were transferred following the poll panel's directives. On Friday night, the General Administration Department of the Madhya Pradesh government issued an Order and filled the posts.
