A political tug-of-war is occurring over a key IAS officer posting in Indore, following a previous tragedy. The state government initially considered two female collectors but their names were rejected. After further deliberation, an officer with a reputation for honesty and courtesy was selected. However, questions are being raised about other officers under him, with concerns about nepotism and past performance. Additionally, an important departmental position is becoming vacant, with multiple officers vying for it, some reportedly through connections and questionable dealings.
