Rajeev Singh Thakur Approved as Next Chief Secretary of Manipur
Senior IAS officer Rajeev Singh Thakur, a 1995 batch Rajasthan cadre officer currently at NITI Aayog, is set to become Manipur's next Chief Secretary. The Centre approved his inter-cadre deputation to Manipur until his retirement in June 2029, curtailing his central deputation. His appointment follows the impending retirement of the current Chief Secretary and comes amid ongoing efforts to restore peace after ethnic violence in the state since May 2023.
