Speaking exclusively to G Plus, Devajyoti Hazarika stated that he received the order but was unaware as to why he was removed from office in just four months as reasons of such transfers are not stated in the order.
GDD minister, Siddharth Bhattacharya informed G Plus that Hazarika has, in fact, been promoted and the current office as the Secretary to the State Government is in pursuance of his elevated IAS status.
"Devajyoti Hazarika's transfer is among a list of other transferred. It's kind of a chain reaction of the other reshuffles that were ordered. And he has been given a promotion," said Bhattacharya.
