Amid the growing number of coronavirus cases in Mumbai, the Maharashtra Government on Friday transferred Brihanmumbai Municipal corporation (BMC) Commissioner Pravin Pardeshi and named Iqbal Chahal as his successor.

India's financial capital has so far reported 11,219 positive cases and 437 deaths and is one of the worst-affected cities in Maharashtra.

Pardeshi has now been posted in the Urban Development Department in Chahal's place, said the order issued by the General Administration Department.

Ashwini Bhide, former managing director of the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation, and Sanjeev Jaiswal -- two bureaucrats awaiting posting -- were appointed as additional commissioners in the BMC.

Jaiswal's last posting was as Thane municipal commissioner. He replaced additional municipal commissioner AL Jarhad who will take over as secretary, Relief and Rehabilitation.

Kishoreraje Nimbalkar, current secretary of Relief and Rehabilitation, was appointed as secretary of the Public Works Department.

Bhide has been brought in place of Jayashri Bhoj who has been shifted to the Small Scale Industries Development Corporation.

Manoj Saunik, additional chief secretary of the PWD, has been moved to the same posting in finance.
