While Hassan deputy commissioner, Akram Pasha, who has been transferred without any posting, has been replaced by Ms Priyanka Mary Francis, Belagavi deputy commissioner, S.B. Bommanahalli, has made way for UKP commissioner, Ujjwal Kumar Ghosh, who will take over his post with immediate effect. And Ms M. Kannagavalli has been appointed DC of Vijayapura in place of Mr Y.S.
