Even after a month since his appointment as Additional Secretary in the Ministry of Home Affairs, B R Sharma, a J&K cadre IAS officer, is still waiting for work to be allocated to him. Sharma was appointed in the MHA against the vacancy created by a sudden and unscheduled transfer of M Gopal Reddy at the end of March. During all this while, Sharma has mainly been filling in for Secretary (border management), who is on a long leave.
