The Forest Department of Madhya Pradesh has recently undertaken a significant reshuffle, transferring 38 Indian Forest Service (IFS) officers across various districts. This decision, made on a Friday, affects the Divisional Forest Officers (DFOs) of 16 districts, including the capital, Bhopal. Alok Pathak, the previous DFO of Bhopal, has been reassigned, and Prakash Bharti has been appointed as his successor. The transfers also include DFOs from districts such as Khargone, Ujjain, Betul, and Seoni, among others. This move is part of a broader strategy to enhance forest management and administration in the state, reflecting the government's commitment to improving environmental governance.
