The Mamata Banerjee government has requested the Centre to extend the tenure of chief secretary Alapan Bandyopadhyay, who is set to retire on May 31, by three months, citing the need of continuity at the helm of the state administration to fight the second wave of Covid-19.
“The chief minister has already requested the Centre to extend the tenure of the chief secretary by three months. The decision was taken as the chief secretary has been handling the Covid-related affairs for the past eight months or so. The chief minister wants continuity in the battle against the deadly virus,” said a senior government official.
