Gagandeep Singh

According to a govt order, Gagandeep Singh Bedi, who was serving as additional chief secretary to govt, rural development and panchayat raj department, has been transferred and posted as additional chief secretary to govt, municipal administration and water supply department, replacing D Karthikeyan.

Tamil Nadu government initiated a significant bureaucratic reshuffle, moving senior officials across key departments like municipal administration, energy, and transport. Gagandeep Singh Bedi now heads municipal administration and water supply, while Dr. G S Sameeran takes charge as GCC Commissioner. Several other crucial appointments were made in civic bodies and state agencies.

An NRI couple, former sarpanches, face charges for raising street height outside their Hoshiarpur home to prevent waterlogging. They claim the repair was necessary due to the street sinking. The panchayat alleges the work was done without approval and that the couple used abusive language. Police registered a case based on the panchayat department's complaint.
