The Ministry of Home Affairs on Thursday (05.09.2024) appointed senior IAS officer Manish Kumar Gupta (IAS:1991:AGMUT) as the new Chief Secretary of Arunachal Pradesh. He is currently handling responsibilities of seven departments of Delhi government as Additional Chief Secretary. These departments include Land and Building, Revenue, Home, Industries, Labour, DUSIB, Urban Development and Shahjahanabad Redevelopment Corporation.
Following the appointment of the incumbent Chief Secretary of Arunachal Pradesh Dharmendra (IAS:1989:AGMUT) as Delhi’s Chief Secretary, it was being speculated that Manish Kumar Gupta would be assigned the charge of Arunachal CS. However, the entry of IAS officer Sajjan Singh Yadav’s (IAS:1996:AGMUT) name as contender made things interesting. Ultimately, the MHA assigned the post to Manish Kumar Gupta.
Further, it was anticipated that the MHA would effect a major bureaucratic reshuffle, including the appointment of a new Chief Secretary for Arunachal Pradesh. However, the MHA issued a separate order specifically regarding the appointment of the Arunachal CS.
