Mumbai (30.06.2025): When Sujata Saunik (IAS: 1987: MH) bids adieu as Maharashtra Chief Secretary today, a section of insiders says that a unique arrangement is expected in appointing her successor.
A section of insiders believes that Rajesh Kumar (IAS: 1988: MH) may be appointed as Chief Secretary for two months just ahead of his retirement i.e. 31.08.2025. In case the govt appoints him the CS, it may give him an extension for another three months post-retirement.
It is also understood that the govt may adopt the same framework to pick I S Chahal (IAS: 1989: MH) as next CS considering extension for next three or six months beyond his superannuation i.e. 01.02.2026.
