Former Haryana chief secretary DS Dhesi (Retd.IAS:1982:HR) has been appointed as the chief principal secretary to the chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Monday. He will replace Rajesh Khullar (IAS:1988:HY), the incumbent principal secretary to CM. Khullar is headed for a World Bank assignment in the United States by the month-end.
Dhesi resigned on Sunday as the chairman of the Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission (HERC).
Dhesi retired from the service in 2019 after spending four years as chief secretary during Khattar’s first tenure as the chief minister.
Sources said that Khattar may also appoint another officer as principal secretary to the chief minister who will be junior to Dhesi.
