Just a few hours after the removal of Rajiv Kumar by Election Commission, IPS officer Vivek Sahay has been appointed on Monday as the next Director-General of Police of West Bengal. Earlier today, the Election Commission also issued an order to remove six Home Secretaries of Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand. Rajiv Kumar has now been allotted the post of OSD of IT and Electronics Department as the EC has asked state chief secretary to post Rajiv to a “non-election” related assignment. The re-shuffle, a common move by the ECI, comes ahead of the upcoming 2024 Lok Sabha elections that is set to be held from April 19 to June 1. Results will be declared on June 4.
