J&K Appoints First AGMUT Cadre Chief Secretary

Sajjan Singh Yadav, a 1995-batch IAS officer from the AGMUT cadre, has been appointed as the new Chief Secretary of Jammu and Kashmir. This marks the first time an AGMUT cadre officer holds this position. AGMUT includes Arunachal Pradesh, Goa, Mizoram, and Union Territories, and the cadre serves both IAS and IPS officers. Yadav will succeed Atal Dulloo, who is retiring on October 31. His appointment, effective from November 1 or the date he assumes charge, comes after Dulloo faced controversy for opposing a statehood resolution. Dulloo, a J&K cadre officer, had served in various roles, including as a Deputy Commissioner and Financial Commissioner, before his tenure as Chief Secretary.
