New Delhi: Former finance and economic affairs secretary Subhash Chandra Garg has opted for voluntary retirement scheme (VRS), after being appointed power secretary in a major bureaucratic reshuffle late on Wednesday, a source in the know told Mint.
The Narendra Modi-led government transferred Garg to the power ministry and appointed Atanu Chakraborty as the new economic affairs secretary, according to an official notification of the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions.
Another person familiar with the development said Garg held a farewell on Thursday, where he told the staff in the finance ministry about his plan of opting for VRS. While there is a three-month notice on VRS, it is not immediately clear whether he will go on leave and what will be the next step after the resignation.
