Odisha Government Appoints IAS Officer as Padampur ADM

GG News Bureau
Bhubaneswar, 30th Dec. The Odisha government has appointed an IAS officer as the additional district magistrate (ADM) for the Padampur subdivision in Bargarh district. This decision was made because the Orissa High Court has prevented the declaration of Padampur as a separate district.

Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik approved the proposal for the creation of a new post of ADM Padampur in Bargarh district, an official release by the CMO said.

Chavan Kunal Motiram, an IAS officer of the 2020 batch, has been assigned as the ADM Padampur.

Currently, he is working as the sub-collector in Balasore.

The establishment of the ADM Padampur office aims to enhance the administration in the region, address public grievances promptly, and expedite development activities.

It is important to note that the High Court has instructed the state government to seek its consent before forming any new district.
