The government orders said, “Consequent upon repatriation from Central Deputation, Dharam Pal, IAS (AGMUT:1988) is hereby posted to Chandigarh as Advisor to the Administrator, with immediate effect and until further orders.”

Mr. Pal belongs to the Arunachal Pradesh-Goa-Mizoram-Union Territory (AGMUT) cadre. Before being appointed as a new adviser, he was an additional secretary in the department of fertilizers under the Union ministry of chemicals and fertilizers, New Delhi.

Replacing IAS Manoj Parida, who will take over as the chairman of the National Authority of Chemical Weapons Convention, Mr. Pal will join office on Wednesday.

The new UT Adviser has a seven-year international working experience with the United Nations and has helped to deliver health services to communities located over different islands.
