The Election Commission of India directed the transfer of officials involved in election-related work in Assam (among other states like Kerala, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, and Puducherry). This includes administrative officers (IAS), police officers (IPS), and excise officials who are posted in their home districts or have served three out of the last four years there. The order mandates declarations and compliance reports ahead of 2026 Assembly elections, aiming to ensure impartiality. This is a breaking development signaling impending transfers in Assam’s bureaucracy.
