More than 1700 personnel were transferred in Bihar, hundreds of BDO, CO, CDPO and other officials were transferred here and there.
There is a huge shortage of IAS officers in the state.

Out of these 248 working IAS officers, 33 officers are also on central deputation. Work is being done in Bihar with the help of 215 IAS officers. The situation is such that due to the shortage of IAS officers, one officer has got the responsibility of many departments. Talking about the officers posted at the highest positions, out of 12 officers of the level of Chief Secretary and Additional Chief Secretary, five have the responsibility of more than two departments.
The backlog of the last four years will be cleared
For the last four years in Bihar, there is a promotion backlog of BPS officers in the IAS cadre. It is noteworthy that out of the total IAS posts sanctioned for the state, there is a provision to fill one-third of the posts by the promotion of BiPS officials, but due to the backlog, about 70 percent of the posts are vacant. There is every possibility of promotion of officers in IAS cadre.
