Furthermore, Umaria’s collector Krishna Dev Tripathi will take over as secretary of MPBSE.
Guna collector Frank Noble A has been appointed as the commissioner of the Bhopal Municipal Corporation, and Tarun Rathi, managing director of the MP Dairy Federation, will replace Noble as the collector of Guna.
