Officials reinstated as part of an agreement

Bangalore: Three officials who were transferred from Bellary district soon after the ministers from the district rebelled against Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa a fortnight ago, have been brought back to the district.

The State Government on Tuesday transferred five IAS, three IPS and two IFS officers in accordance with the agreement reached between the rival camps. This was a key demand placed by the ministers G. Karunakara Reddy, G. Janardhan Reddy and B. Sriramulu as a pre-condition for giving up their insistence on a leadership change. With this, the Chief Minister has complied with three demands made by the dissidents. While Principal Secretary to the Chief Minister V.P. Baligar was transferred on Friday, Minister for Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Shobha Karandlaje put in her papers on Monday.

N.V. Prasad, Deputy Commissioner, Gadag district, who was held responsible by the Chief Minister for irregularities in the payment of compensation to people displaced by floods and summarily transferred as Chief Executive Officer of the Dharwad Zilla Panchayat, has been sent back to Gadag district. Health Minister B. Sriramulu is the Minister in charge of Gadag district.

C. Shikha who was appointed Deputy Commissioner, Gadag, has been posted as Chief Executive Officer, Dharwad Zilla Panchayat.
