Bharti, an IAS officer, was recently transferred to the Union women and child development ministry as additional secretary.

Kumar, who presently holds the positions of Delhi divisional commissioner and additional chief secretary (home) in the Delhi government, was the first special officer of the unified MCD.

The home ministry's order states, ''With approval from the competent authority, Ashwani Kumar, IAS (AGMUT), 1992, is appointed as commissioner, Municipal Corporation of Delhi, with immediate effect.''

Kumar is a distinguished 1992-batch IAS officer of the AGMUT cadre.
