 "Senior IAS officer Vikram Dev Dutt assumes charge as new coal secretary")
Vikram Dev Dutt on Monday assumed the charge as the coal secretary.
Dutt succeeds V L Kantha Rao who currently serves as the mines secretary.
Dutt, a 1993-batch IAS officer of the AGMUT (Arunachal Pradesh-Goa-Mizoram and Union Territory) cadre, earlier served as the Director General of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), the coal ministry said in a statement.
Prior to Rao, Amrit Lal Meena served as the coal secretary.
Meena was repatriated to his home cadre Bihar, where he was appointed as the chief secretary.
Meena is a 1989-batch officer of the Indian Administrative Service.
The Appointments Committee of the Cabinet had approved Meena's repatriation to his parent cadre on the request of the Bihar government, said a personnel ministry order dated August 30.
