KARIMNAGAR: RV Karnan assumed charge as Karimnagar District Collector here on Tuesday. Karnan, who previously worked as the Khammam Collector, was transferred to Karimnagar following the transfer of K Shashanka. The shuffling of posts comes ahead of the upcoming Huzurabad byelections. A few days ago, several officers from the Police department, from ACP cadre to CI cadre, were shunted.
Soon after taking charge, the Collector participated in the Bala Rakshak Bhavan programme along with BC Welfare Minister Gangula Kamalakar. Meanwhile, Karimnagar recollected the services rendered by former Collector K Shashanka, including various initiatives he had sanctioned during the first wave of Covid-19 to control the spread of the virus in the district.
