CNN Central News & Network-ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: Raipur: The Chhattisgarh Forest and Climate Change Department has ordered a major administrative reshuffle, transferring 102 forest range officers across the state. The transfer order was issued on October 26, 2026, with officials assigned new responsibilities in different forest divisions and departmental units. The move is aimed at reorganising administrative responsibilities across the state’s forest administration.
According to media reports, the transfers have been carried out on administrative grounds. The order includes changes in postings across various forest divisions and field-level offices, with officers being assigned new locations and duties.
The reshuffle is significant for a state where forest management, wildlife conservation and the protection of natural resources are important administrative responsibilities. Chhattisgarh has several forest-rich districts, along with tiger reserves, wildlife sanctuaries and other protected areas that require coordination between field officers and senior departmental authorities.
Forest range officers play an important role in implementing conservation measures, preventing illegal tree felling, monitoring forest activities and coordinating with local communities. Their responsibilities also include supporting wildlife protection, enforcing forest regulations and implementing government programmes at the ground level.
The latest transfers are expected to bring changes in the functioning of several forest offices. However, the department has not publicly specified separate reasons for each officer’s transfer in the information currently available.
The detailed transfer list reportedly contains the names of the officers, their previous postings and their new assignments. Officials will be required to assume responsibilities at their designated locations in accordance with the departmental order.
The administrative reshuffle comes amid continuing efforts to strengthen forest governance and improve coordination across different regions of Chhattisgarh. The impact of the changes will depend on how effectively the newly assigned officers take charge and carry out their responsibilities.
The complete official order should be consulted for confirmation of individual names, previous postings and new assignments.
