Kotpad : A farewell felicitation was held at the Kotpad Notified Area Council (NAC) office for former Executive Officer Puja Raut. After serving for the past three months in the Kotpad NAC, she had undertaken several commendable developmental initiatives for the betterment of the region. Her efforts and excellent coordination with all staff members significantly advanced the council’s functioning.
Her sudden transfer as Additional Executive Officer to Jaypur Municipality came as a surprise to everyone. No one had anticipated such a quick transfer, but as is often said, changes are natural in government service and sometimes occur unexpectedly like a twist of fate.
Following her transfer, Kamalesh Mahant has taken charge as the new Executive Officer of Kotpad. Since joining, he has been seen actively visiting various wards, inspecting ongoing development works, and engaging with the local area—raising hopes among citizens that the council will continue to progress under his leadership.
At today’s farewell ceremony, Chairman M. Shankar Rao, Vice-Chairperson M. Santoshi, the new EO Kamalesh Mahant, outgoing EO Puja Raut, all ward members, engineers, council employees, and support staff were present. The event concluded with the presentation of flower bouquets and heartfelt tokens of appreciation to bid farewell to Puja Raut.
