NEW DELHI: In a major top-deck reshuffle, the government on Sunday appointed nearly two dozen new secretaries, including those for economic affairs, petroleum, environment and school education, while giving a three-month extension to health secretary Preeti Sudan in the wake of Covid-19.
Among the prominent appointments, Tarun Bajaj, currently additional secretary in the PMO, has been appointed economic affairs secretary. He will replace Atanu Chakraborty, who retires at the end of the month. Bajaj is an old finance ministry hand.
