In a major administrative shake-up that has sent ripples through Punjab's political corridors, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has removed Anmol Gagan Maan from her position as advisor to the CM. The development marks another significant change in the state's bureaucratic landscape under the Aam Aadmi Party government.
Official Order Confirms Removal
The Punjab government issued an official order on Wednesday confirming Maan's removal from the coveted position. The notification clearly stated that her services "are no longer required," bringing an abrupt end to her tenure as the CM's advisor.
Anmol Gagan Maan, who also serves as the Punjab Tourism and Cultural Affairs Minister, held the additional responsibility of advisor to the Chief Minister. Her removal comes as part of what appears to be an ongoing restructuring within the state administration.
Not the First High-Profile Exit
This isn't the first instance of a key official being shown the door in recent times. The development follows the recent removal of Kumar Amit, another senior IAS officer who served as Deputy Principal Secretary to the Chief Minister. The pattern suggests a systematic review of administrative positions within the CM's office.
The series of high-profile exits has sparked considerable discussion in political circles about the possible reasons behind these sudden changes. While official statements maintain these are routine administrative decisions, observers are watching closely for any underlying patterns or policy shifts.
Broader Administrative Reshuffle Underway
The removal of Anmol Gagan Maan appears to be part of a larger bureaucratic reshuffle initiated by the Bhagwant Mann-led government. Sources indicate that several other key positions might see changes in the coming days as the administration seeks to streamline operations and implement its governance agenda more effectively.
Political analysts suggest that these changes could represent the CM's efforts to build a team that aligns more closely with his vision for the state's development. The moves come at a crucial time when the AAP government is working to deliver on its election promises and establish its governance model in Punjab.
The development has undoubtedly added a new dimension to Punjab's political narrative, with all eyes now on who might fill the vacant advisory position and what direction the next appointments might take.
