Gauhati HC Seeks Assam Govt Response on M.K. Yadava's Extension and Role Change
The Gauhati High Court asked the Assam government to clarify if two May 2025 communications from the Union Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change were considered before granting retired IFS officer M.K. Yadava a third extension as Special Chief Secretary (Forest). The Assam government later informed the court that Yadava's third extension ended on November 11 and he would not continue in the Forest Department but be re-engaged in the Mines and Minerals Department. The court subsequently closed a PIL challenging his post-retirement engagement.
