Kolkata, Aug 7 : Nandini Chakraborty, an IAS officer who had raised eyebrows after being made Editor of the State Gazetteer, a post earlier occupied by WBCS officers, was today transferred as Secretary, Sundarban Affairs department, in a reshuffle in West Bengal.
Chakraborty, a 1994-batch IAS officer, was earlier the Secretary of the Information and Cultural Affairs department before being shifted to the less important post of the Editor of the State Gazetteer.
The Information and Cultural Affairs department is under Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
In 2011, after the Trinamool Congress government took office, Chakraborty had been made the managing director of the West Bengal Industrial Development Corporation.
