The Appointments Committee of the Cabinet has approved the repatriation of Prashant Kumar Singh to his parent cadre in Manipur, where he will take charge as the state’s top bureaucrat. A seasoned IAS officer of the 1993 batch, Mr. Singh’s appointment follows the recent elevation of former Chief Secretary Vineet Joshi as Higher Education Secretary at the Centre.
