Good to see a focus on digital governance with Mr. Singhamar's appointment. Himachal is a tourist state, improving digital infrastructure and e-governance can really boost services for both locals and visitors. A step in the right direction!

Torul S Ravish moving from DC Kullu to managing industrial development is interesting. Kullu-Manali needs strong administration, especially with tourism and environmental challenges. Hope the new DC is up to the task.

The article is very administrative. As someone who follows Himachal politics, I'd like to know the *why* behind these moves. Is it routine, performance-based, or something else? Transparency in such postings builds public trust.

HPMC and agro-industries are crucial for our apple farmers. Hope Mr. Vinay Singh, with his horticulture background, can bring some fresh ideas to help the farmers get better prices and reduce post-harvest losses. Jai Kisaan! 🍎

One officer holding 3-4 additional charges... this is concerning. How can anyone focus and deliver quality work with so many portfolios? The system needs more officers, not overburdening the existing ones.
