Taking a cue from some of the neighbouring states, the Himachal Pradesh government has decided to post Indian Forest Service (IFS) and Indian Police Service (IPS) officers in the Secretariat to handle jobs hitherto done by either IAS or senior Himachal Administrative Services (HAS) officers.
Earlier, IFS and IPS officers were posted only as managing directors or chief executive officers of state-owned public sector undertakings.
IFS officer B D Suyal has been posted as Special Secretary (Power), while Amitabh Gautam will be Special Secretary, Finance. Vineet Kumar is now the Managing Director of Himachal Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation.
The Himachal Forest Officers’ Welfare Association has thanked Chief Minister Prem Kumar Dhumal for the decision. In another decision, Inspector General of Police Atul Verma has been appointed Special Secretary, Home. The posting orders were issued on Wednesday evening.
