The government notification issued on Wednesday stated that Annies Kanmani Joy, chief executive officer of Zilla Panchayat, Tumakuru, was transferred with immediate effect and posted, until further orders, as Deputy Commissioner of Kodagu district.

The government has transferred Annies Kanmani Joy, a native of Kerala, as deputy commissioner of Kodagu district in the wake of allegations that the rehabilitation work of those affected by the natural calamity had been delayed.

Annies Kanmani Joy has many challenges ahead such as expediting the rehabilitation works and process of disbursing compensation.
