Earlier transfers focused on young IAS cadre
This comes just days after the UP government, under Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, transferred 19 IAS officers from the 2023 batch on July 24. These earlier changes primarily involved Joint Magistrates and other junior administrative roles, aimed at providing young officers with field experience and improving governance efficiency across the state.
