1996 batch IAS officer J K Sinha will be new acting Chief Secretary of Tripura as current Chief Secretary Kumar Alok has been removed.
The Tripura government on Saturday removed Kumar Alok, a 1990 batch IAS officer, from the top bureaucratic post and appointed him as the new Director of the State Institute of Public Administration and Rural Development, an official said.
JK Sinha, who is the principal secretary of the Health and Family Welfare department, has been made in-charge Chief Secretary, the official said.
The removal of Kumar Alok from the post of chief secretary came a day after the swearing-in ceremony of Chief Minister Manik Saha as an MLA.
Kumar was not seen in the oath-taking program of Saha held on Friday although it was a pre-scheduled program.
