A major bureaucratic reshuffle in Maharashtra has resulted in the transfer of 12 IAS officers, including Anil Diggikar, the General Manager of Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST). Diggikar, who took over the post in March, was moved three weeks after the fatal Kurla bus accident on December 9 that claimed nine lives and injured around 40 people.
Diggikar, a 1990-batch IAS officer, has been reassigned as the Additional Chief Secretary in the Divyang Kalyan Department at Mantralaya, Mumbai. Dr Harshdeep Kamble, a 1997-batch IAS officer, will replace him as BEST General Manager. Kamble was previously serving as Principal Secretary (Industries) in the Industries, Energy, and Labour Department.
