The basic bureaucratic set up inherited from previous government remains largely unchanged. Senior bureaucrat Manoj Ahuja’s appointment as State’s chief secretary necessitated as P.K. Jena former chief secretary was retiring on June 30. Another notable change was appointment of 1993-batch IAS officer Nikunja Behari Dhal as Additional Chief Secretary to Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi.
