MHA transfers IAS, IPS officers from Arunachal in major shake-up
Talo Potom, an IAS officer of the 2016 batch known for his administrative leadership in Itanagar and various state departments, has been transferred to New Delhi. His tenure in Arunachal Pradesh saw him play a central role in managing urban development and public grievances.
Among IPS officers, Rohit Rajbir Singh and Anant Mittal, both of the 2015 batch, have also been shifted from Arunachal Pradesh to New Delhi. Singh has served as SP of several districts and was widely recognised for his contributions to law enforcement and public safety, particularly during the implementation of Operation Dawn.
Mittal, known for his work in intelligence and anti-narcotics operations, also played a key role in maintaining law and order in sensitive areas.
The reshuffle order, issued by the MHA, is part of a broader administrative reallocation across the AGMUT cadre and takes effect immediately.
Other IAS officers transferred from Arunachal Pradesh include Krishna Kumar Singh (2012 batch), Soumya Saurabh (2014), and Shashwat Saurabh (2016) — all of whom have been posted to Delhi.

Ezhilan made a detailed presentation on Saturday about the recommendation report on the 'overt centralisation of powers in the subject of health and medical education' before the high-level committee members — retired IAS officer K Ashok Vardhan Shetty and former state planning commission vice chairman M Naganathan.

MHA seeks Admn's comments on key issues of public interest
Chandigarh: In a development that could rekindle hopes of city residents, the ministry of home affairs (MHA) has asked the Chandigarh administration to provide its inputs on four major issues. In a letter to the UT chief secretary, the MHA requested the administration's comments, views, report, and current status on major issues. The letter lists the issues as share by sale of property, need-based changes in dwellings, apartments, and houses constructed by the Chandigarh Housing Board, abolition of the concept of Lal Dora in 22 villages of Chandigarh which have been made a part of the MC and ownership rights of people living in resettlement colonies. The latest MHA letter gains significance as earlier, the administration responded in the negative on all these issues while responding to questions raised in Parliament. Abolition of Lal Dora A total of 22 villages in Chandigarh were included in the MC between 2015 and 2018. Over the years, large-scale construction took place outside the Lal Dora of these villages. For a long time, residents have been demanding regularisation of these constructions by either abolition or extension of the Lal Dora. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Could This NEW Collagen Blend Finally Reduce Your Cellulite? Vitauthority Learn More Undo This became a major election issue, with all parties including it in their election manifestoes. Last August, the MHA said in reply to a question raised by Chandigarh MP Manish Tiwari, "As per 'The Punjab New Capital (Periphery) Control Act, 1952', no person is allowed to erect or re-erect any building in an area outside Lal Dora without the previous permission of the deputy commissioner. Any construction outside Lal Dora without the approval of the competent authority is a violation of this Act." Allowing need-based changes More than three lakh city residents living in CHB houses have been demanding a permanent solution to the issue of need-based changes. Over the last 45 years, need-based changes were made in around 95% of the units. Residents have been demanding a one-time scheme on the pattern of the "Delhi solution." In Chandigarh, the administration came up with notifications on need-based changes four times but could not solve the problem. Responding to a question on allowing such changes, the MHA said in July last year, "Certain need-based changes were allowed in relaxation of Chandigarh Building Rules, 2017 by the Chandigarh Housing Board. Chandigarh administration considered the requests in 2022 and decided that the said requests on the Delhi pattern cannot be allowed since Chandigarh is a planned city with a unique architectural character and has high vulnerability to earthquakes as it falls in seismic zone-IV, and unauthorised violations may pose a threat to human life and public property. " Share by sale of property In its January 10, 2023 order, the Supreme Court banned conversion of houses into floor-wise apartments in sectors 1 to 30, saying that these sectors carried heritage status. The SC held that the administration shall not sanction any plan of a building which ex-facie appears to be a modus operandi to convert a single dwelling unit into three different apartments occupied by three strangers. Following the order, UT imposed a ban on registration for share transfers outside the family and approval of building plans for properties co-owned by strangers or non-family members. Since then, many residents have been demanding revocation of the ban on the grounds that the administration misinterpreted the SC order. The MHA, in response to a question by Tiwari in Lok Sabha on the issue last December, stated, "The subject matter of the question is sub-judice before the Punjab and Haryana High Court." Ownership rights for people in resettlement colonies Lakhs of slum dwellers were rehabilitated in colonies with dwelling units leased out to residents for a specific time period on a monthly fee (rent) basis. Many of these colonies are nearing expiry of the lease period and residents are concerned about what will happen afterwards. Since 1980, the UT has constructed 34,965 units in different rehabilitation schemes. In February, the MHA said in the Lok Sabha, "These houses were allotted to economically weaker sections of society on a monthly licence fee or leasehold basis. There is no provision of granting ownership rights in these rehabilitation schemes." Issues In A Nutshell Share by sale of property --SC banned conversion of houses into floor-wise apartments in sectors 1–30 --UT imposed restrictions on share transfers outside families --The matter is currently sub-judice in Punjab and Haryana high court Need-based changes in CHB Houses --Over 3 lakh residents affected --95% of CHB units have undergone changes over 45 years --UT rejected Delhi-style solution citing architectural integrity and seismic risks Abolition of Lal Dora in 22 Villages --Villages included in MC between 2015–2018. --Residents demand regularisation of constructions outside Lal Dora --MHA cited Periphery Control Act, 1952 prohibiting such constructions Ownership rights in resettlement colonies --34,965 units built since 1980 for EWS --Allotted on lease/licence basis --No provision for granting ownership rights, says MHA MSID:: 123308142 413 | Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

No foreign voters in Bihar SIR list; Modi brings divisive agenda: CPI(ML)
Communist Party of India (Marxist–Leninist) general secretary Dipankar Bhattacharya has welcomed the interim order of the Supreme Court on the special intensive revision (SIR) of the voters list in Bihar. He said the Election Commission of India (ECI) is forced to back off from its stand on the matter and hoped that the poll body will ensure transparency in preparing voters' lists and provide details for the reasons of the omission of voters published in the draft list. Countering Prime Minister Narendra Modi's statement on Independence Day that illegal immigration is threatening the country's demography, Mr. Bhattacharya said the SIR exercise in Bihar did not bring out a single case of illegal immigrants in the State. 'PM Modi gave his longest Independence Day speech, but the important point is that the theme of Independence Day is now being reduced to partition. It is as if the government is trying to finish the incomplete agenda of partition,' he said. He maintained that out of the 65 lakh voters who have been disenfranchised, no one was a foreign national. 'But once again, Modi ji has brought back that agenda, completely unsubstantiated, the bogey of illegal immigration, infiltration. And the things that they are doing to change our demography, taking away all jobs, occupying land, getting married to women and forcing conversion. This is a total anti-immigrant agenda of the RSS and BJP. This is what led to partition, perhaps they want another partition...' he said. He asked how the Centre concluded on the number of foreign nationals entering India illegally, when there has been no Census since 2011. 'It has created a tone of terror in the country, it has created major insecurity, and when you sort of view it together with the ongoing SIR, the backdoor NRC, the ongoing so-called police verification drive, the MHA circular, so it creates before us the danger of a huge social division and the creation of a permanent category of disenfranchised people,' he said.
