This decision comes with the relieving of H Rajesh Prasad, who held the position of Principal Secretary to the Government in the Power Development Department, from the additional charge of the post.
This transfer reflects the government’s emphasis on optimizing administrative expertise by strategically placing officers in departments where their skills and experience can be most effectively utilized.

This appointment highlights the government’s recognition of the crucial role played by law enforcement in fostering a conducive environment for industrial and commercial growth. Vikramjit Singh’s expertise in traffic management will likely be instrumental in ensuring smooth logistical operations and facilitating the growth of industries and commerce in the region.
Furthermore, Bhim Sen Tuti, the Inspector General of Police at the PHQ (Police Headquarters) in Jammu and Kashmir, has been entrusted with the additional charge of IGP Traffic in Jammu and Kashmir.
