Chandra Mohan Garg, a 2016-batch officer who held the post of Municipal Commissioner in Prayagraj, has been appointed as the new DM of Chandauli. Seelam Sai Teja, a 2018-batch officer and the current Chief Development Officer (CDO) of Jaunpur, will succeed Garg as Municipal Commissioner of Prayagraj.
Meanwhile, Mrinali Avinash Joshi, a 2021-batch IAS officer and Joint Magistrate of Gorakhpur, has been posted as the new Chief Development Officer of Jaunpur.
