This move is seen as an administrative adjustment to strengthen leadership in preparation for the upcoming polls.

In a calculated move preceding the crucial assembly elections, the Assam government has undertaken a comprehensive reshuffle of its administrative officers. According to official notifications, numerous IAS and ACS officials have been reassigned to pivotal roles, a step observers interpret as a strategic positioning of experienced personnel.
