The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change has removed three key aides of Union Minister Bhupender Yadav in orders dated July 3.

Private Secretary Amar Singh, an Indian Revenue Service officer appointed in 2021, was repatriated to the Department of Revenue on administrative grounds.

Additional Private Secretary Shailesh Kumar Singh was prematurely repatriated to the Department of Personnel and Training with an extended cooling-off period.

The appointment of another Additional Private Secretary, Ayush Saran, was terminated immediately following a Department of Personnel and Training order dated July 2. The ministry did not respond to requests for comment on the changes.
