Gujarat : CS Pankaj Kumar may not get extension

Gujarat Chief Secretary Pankaj Kumar (IAS:1986:GJ) is set to retire on April 30. The buzz in the state power corridor is whether he will get an extension, or not, in the election year. It is said the high command is not keen on his extension. So, a new CS and a new team are in the offing before the Assembly elections go into the last lap. Some of the bureaucrats, waiting on the sidelines, have upped their hope of getting a good posting. We will have to wait till April 30.
