The state government has accepted the VRS being availed of by senior IAS officer, Somesh Kumar, who was the chief secretary of Telangana before being shifted to Andhra Pradesh. Although he reported to the Chief Minister following court directions, he was not allotted any post all these days.
The officer, who is close to Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, has worked in various positions including as an Anantapur collector. His achievements include the boost to tamarind trees with the ‘chinta to nischintha’ concept. The tamarind trees are now providing environmental protection in drought-hit Anantapur.
