Tamil Nadu administrative and police reshuffles

Overview

The Tamil Nadu government has implemented a series of high-level administrative and law enforcement reorganizations.

In late September, the Home Department ordered a reshuffle of senior police officers, affecting approximately 12 to 13 high-ranking officials. Key changes included the appointment of Santhosh Hadimani as Joint Commissioner (Intelligence) of the Greater Chennai Police and the transfer of AG Babu to Commissioner of Salem City.

Following this, the government announced a major shake-up of senior Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officers. This reorganization impacted the Home, Finance, Agriculture, and power sectors. Notable appointments included A Karthik as the new Home Secretary and Rajesh Lakhoni, who assumed leadership roles across several power sector organizations, including the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board.
