Seth, the Additional Chief Secretary in the Health and Family Welfare Department, will hold the post concurrently with his existing responsibility, the notification said.
The state government also upgraded the metro MD’s post to Additional Chief Secretary rank to appoint Seth, a 1987 batch Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer.
