Indianmandarins has reliably learnt that Shashi Prakash Goyal (IAS:1989:UP) may shortly be appointed Principal Secretary to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
The NaMo administration this week cleared the premature repatriation of five senior Joint Secretary rank officers, including Goyal who served as Joint Secretary, Min of HRD, by exempting them from mandatory 'cooling off'.
