The Tamil Nadu government has reassigned its Home Secretary and named Prem Anand Sinha as the new Director of the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti‑Corruption.
The state government of Tamil Nadu announced a reshuffle in its senior bureaucracy, transferring the incumbent Home Secretary to a different posting. The decision was communicated through an official circular and took effect immediately.
In a related move, senior civil servant Prem Anand Sinha has been appointed as the Director of the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti‑Corruption (DVAC). Sinha, an experienced IAS officer, is expected to lead the anti‑corruption agency with a focus on strengthening oversight mechanisms.
Both changes are part of a routine administrative reorganisation aimed at bringing fresh perspectives to key departments. No further details on the outgoing Home Secretary’s new assignment were released at the time of reporting.
