These transfer orders came days after the MP government made a major reshuffle of IAS officers and more than 40 senior bureaucrats were transferred recently.
The opposition Congress has raised apprehension over back-to-back transfer of the officials, accusing the Chief Minister of creating an "administrative anarchy" in Madhya Pradesh.
Madhya Pradesh Congress Chief Jitu Patwari alleged that there could be no other plausible reason for the frequent shifting of officers but for money.
“During 10 months, 282 IAS officers have been transferred, which constitutes 74 per cent of the total strength of IAS officers in MP,” said Patwari.
He also raised questions over the transfer list of IAS/IPS officers often coming late at night.
“Middlemen are making good profit in transfer business who are taking advantage of the administrative immaturity of the Chief Minister. There is an atmosphere of chaos at the administrative level in the state,” he alleged.
