Debate on Acting Chief Secretary and Director General of Police in Himachal Pradesh.
In Himachal Pradesh, a new debate has been sparked to the Acting Chief Secretary (CS) and Director General of Police (DGP). Retired Bureaucrats are calling this decision a surprise. At the same time, the BJP also did the wrongdoing of this decision of the Congress government, which change the system
,
CM Sukhu has also appointed Chief Secretary (CS) after the Director General of Police (DGP). This is the first time in the history of the state, when a regular appointment of the bureaucracy and the head of the police was not made. The additional charge of CS has been given earlier to Chief Secretary Rank Officer and Additional Chief Secretary (ACS) Town and Country Planning Sanjay Gupta, while DGP is acting since 5 months.
Prior to this, new additional charge was never given on the retiring of any Chief Secretary and DGP. Because of this, this decision of the government has become a reason for the discussion.
BJP also targeted the government
The Bharatiya Janata Party also targeted the government on the additional charge of CS-DGP. Former MLA, BJP chief spokesperson Rajendra Rana said-
First, the DGP retired and now an additional charge was given on the retirement of the Chief Secretary. The government is pressurizing the officers to get arbitrary work by paying additional charge. As long as the officials continue to run according to the government, their post will remain safe and if any wrong order refuses to obey, then the additional charge will also be taken away from it. Additional charge has been given with this intention. Earlier, the government of friends was extracting friend recruitment and now the additional charge has also become part of the same system.
Additional charge to Gupta after Saxena’s retirement
In Himachal, on September 30, Prabodh Saxena of former CS and 1990 batch retired from the post. When the Congress government came to power 2 years ago, CM Sukhu made Prabodh Saxena CS, ignoring three senior bureaucrats Ram Subhag Singh, Nisha Singh and Sanjay Gupta, while ignoring them.
Saxena retired on 31 March this year. But on the recommendation of the state government, the Center also gave him a six -month service extension, which was completed on 30 September. Now instead of putting a new CS, ACS Sanjay Gupta was given additional charge.

Meanwhile, Himachal’s most senior and 1990 batch IPS Shyam Bhagat Negi, who went on central deputation, met CM Sukhwinder Sukhu in Delhi. A few days after this meeting he returned to Himachal. Subsequently, the discussions of Shyam Bhagat Negi becoming DGP were very hot.
