Bhubaneswar: The Odisha government underwent a significant administrative reshuffle, with Ranjan Kumar Das, Shree Jagannath Temple Administration, appointed as the Revenue Divisional Commissioner (Central Division), Cuttack. This decision aims to strengthen excise administration and curb Excise-related crimes in Kalahandi district.
