The Delhi government on Wednesday effected a major bureaucratic reshuffle by issuing transfer and posting orders for several senior IAS officers. The move comes days ahead of the announcement of the Lok Sabha election schedule. Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal-led National Capital Civil Service Authority (NCCSA) approved the appointments, a senior government officer said.
