38 assistant conservators of forests shifted, Vashisht moves to Tadoba

TNN | May 29, 2012, 02.27AM IST NAGPUR: In a major reshuffle, the state government on Monday transferred 38 assistant conservators of forests (ACFs). Among those who have been shifted are GK Vashisht, A M Pillarishet, Kishore Mishrikotkar, GC Yede, AS Khune and others. Vashisht, who had worked in TATR for over a decade and played a key role in changing the face of Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve (TATR), has again been posted in TATR. His posting is seen as an attempt to improve things, specially in the backdrop of recent poaching cases in the buffer of Tadoba. Vashisht will replace an equally good officer Pillarishet, who has been posted to Pench. Similarly, Mishrikotkar, who was with the additional PCCF (wildlife) office and headed several wildlife rescue operations, will look after the anti-poaching squad with wildlife. Ashok Khune, who was posted in New Nagzira Wildlife Sanctuary, has been shifted to Navegaon National Park while GC Yede has been brought to PCCF (wildlife) office. Khune will be replaced by NV Kale. S K Thapdiyal, who was with budget, has now been posted to planning department. He will replace KN Kuduple. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/nagpur/38-assistant-conservators-of-forests-shifted-Vashisht-moves-to-Tadoba/articleshow/13615733.cms
