Tarun Pithode, IAS Officer from 2009 batch, took charge as new Bhopal Collector on Thursday. Incharge Collector and Municipal Commissioner Vijay Dutta handed over charge to him. Chief Executive Officer of District Panchayat Satish Kumar and other senior officers were present.
 
After assuming the charge, Tarun Pithode apprised himself of pre-monsoon preparedness and the places which often witness water-logging during rainfall season. He directed to identify water-logging areas and do the necessary arrangements.
 
He said that his priority is to ensure that people should get maximum benefit of government schemes. Notably, it was on Wednesday that Government appointed Tarun Pithode as Bhopal Collector. The post of Bhopal Collector was lying vacant after the transfer of Sudam Khade. The post remained vacant almost for 11 days. BJP made it a point by saying that Government is not able to appoint even collector for Bhopal.
