Senior IAS officer Dharmendra has been appointed as the new Chief Secretary of the Delhi government, effective September 1. Dharmendra, a 1989-batch officer from the AGMUT cadre, is currently serving as the Chief Secretary of Arunachal Pradesh.
The announcement was made through an order issued by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs. Dharmendra will assume his new role on September 1 or from the date of his joining, whichever is later.
The position was previously held by Naresh Kumar, whose tenure concludes on August 31. Kumar, who had received two extensions during his term, will be stepping down from his post after a significant period of service.
The appointment of Dharmendra is expected to bring new leadership and direction to the Delhi administration as he transitions from his current role in Arunachal Pradesh.
