Ayush Goel moves from SDM Tapa following his new posting; his wife, IAS officer Kritika Goyal, is already serving as ADC (Development) in the district
Mansa: The district administration in Mansa will have two IAS officers from the same family serving in key administrative positions, following the appointment of Ayush Goel as Additional Deputy Commissioner (General).
Ayush Goel, a 2023-batch IAS officer, has joined as ADC (General), Mansa, after his transfer from the post of Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM), Tapa. His appointment is part of the Punjab Government’s recent administrative reshuffle involving 20 IAS officers. He has been posted in place of Poonam Singh, PCS. The government has directed the officers concerned to assume their new assignments immediately.
His wife, IAS officer Kritika Goyal, is already serving as Additional Deputy Commissioner (Development) in Mansa. The district administration’s official website also lists her in that capacity.
With Ayush Goel taking charge as ADC (General) and Kritika Goyal continuing as ADC (Development), both officers will now be associated with the district administration in different but important areas of governance. Their respective responsibilities cover general administrative matters and development-related work.
The new appointment comes at a time when the state government is undertaking changes in district-level administration through its latest IAS reshuffle. Goel’s posting is expected to bring a fresh administrative assignment for the 2023-batch officer, while the two officers’ presence in Mansa places additional focus on the district’s administrative and development functions.
