Amid the worsening law and order situation and sluggish implementation of several development projects Bharat Bhushan Vyas (IAS:1986:JK) was appointed as the Chief Secretary of Jammu and Kashmir today, replacing Braj Raj Sharma (IAS:1984:JK) who was made advisor to CM Mehbooba Mufti. He has 07 months in hand to attain the retirement age.
Vyas has been serving as the Principal Secretary to CM for the past year. Earlier he had served as PS to J&K Governorand former CM Omar Abdullah.
It may be noted that in September 2015, Sharma superseded four seniors - Arun Kumar, Sonali Kumar, Ashok Angurana and Khursheed Ahmad Ganai - when the late Sayeed government picked him up to be the state's top civil servant.
