Following the appointment of Vineet Joshi (IAS: 1992: MN) as Higher Education Secretary, the post of Chief Secretary in Manipur became vacant. After a three-week delay, the Centre selected a seasoned officer to take charge of the crisis-ridden state.
Prashant Kumar Singh (IAS: 1993: MN), who was serving as the Secretary in the Ministry of New & Renewable Energy, has been appointed as the new Chief Secretary of Manipur. This decision came after the Centre gave its approval, and the Government of Manipur officially confirmed the appointment.
