SRINAGAR: Chhattisgarh-cadre IAS officer B V R Subrahmanyam was today appointed as the Chief Secretary of Jammu and Kashmir in place of B B Vyas, who along with super cop and anti-Naxal expert K Vijay Kumar were named advisers to Governor N N Vohra, according to an official communique.
The names of advisers were cleared by the Union Home Ministry after the State was put under the Governor’s rule today, following withdrawal of support by the BJP to the PDP’s Mehbooba Mufti’s three-year old-coalition Government yesterday. The State Assembly has been put under suspended animation. (AGENCIES)
