In case Manoj Ahuja is denied extension, general belief is that Anu Garg is likely to be appointed new Chief Secretary of Odisha. She is 1991 batch IAS officer.

People expect transfers affecting 40–50 IAS officers, including up to 20–25 DMs across Bihar’s 38 districts. This would prioritize officers perceived as efficient in revenue collection, infrastructure projects, and NDA-aligned governance. For instance, districts like Patna, Gaya, and Muzaffarpur—key to the victory—may see new appointees to fast-track urban development and youth employment initiatives.

IPS officers experienced in anti-corruption (e.g., Vigilance Bureau) or cybercrime could head Bihar Special Armed Police battalions or become Additional Director Generals (ADGs) in Civil Defence and Prohibition Enforcement. This supports NDA’s anti-“jungle raj” narrative from the campaign.

Grapevine  has it that Deepak Kumar Singh is being appointed Development Commissioner in Bihar. He is 1992 batch IAS officer.

Bureaucratic circles say that Secretary to Bihar CM Nitish Kumar, Chandra Shekar Singh is going to be more powerful. He is a 2010 batch IAS officer.

Bureaucratic circles in both Patna and New Delhi are watching closely as two former officers—Anand Mishra from Buxar and Rahul Singh from Dumraon—step into their new roles as NDA MLAs. Their entry into politics represents a rare crossover from administrative service to legislative responsibility within the same district, adding an intriguing layer to governance in this region. Mishra, a former IPS officer of the Assam cadre known for his firm policing record, now represents Buxar, where expectations are high that his command-driven style will push the district administration to deliver on long-pending infrastructure and law-and-order priorities.

In neighbouring Dumraon, JD(U)’s Rahul Singh brings deep administrative insight from his tenure as assistant commandant in the SSB and later as assistant commissioner in the Delhi Municipal

Corporation. Officers in Patna and Delhi are expected to watch how Singh leverages his bureaucratic experience to streamline coordination between local bodies and higher administrative arms. Both MLAs’ grounded familiarity with official procedures and chain of command could transform how development works are pursued in their constituencies. For many in the state’s bureaucratic establishment, Buxar and Dumraon could soon serve as live laboratories of whether bureaucratic discipline can successfully translate into political efficiency.

A dedicated focus group comprising senior bureaucrats from the Department of Posts, technocrats from the Centre for Railway Information Systems (CRIS) and NIC, along with logistics experts from India Post, is working closely with Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia to operationalise the express delivery rollout.

The group is additionally framing new service-level benchmarks and customer grievance systems to align India Post’s standards with leading private logistics players.

Finance Minister held a pre-Budget consultation with representatives from the manufacturing sector on Tuesday, as part of the government’s ongoing exercise to gather industry feedback ahead of the Union Budget. Industry leaders urged the government to step up support for domestic manufacturers amid growing global economic uncertainties and supply chain disruptions.

The industry also pressed for simplified compliance procedures and faster clearances to reduce operational bottlenecks and improve ease of doing business. Officials familiar with the discussion said the Finance Ministry assured stakeholders that their recommendations would be reviewed in the budget formulation process.
