Chakraborty, a 1985-batch IAS officer of the Gujarat cadre, is currently the department of economic affairs secretary. 

 

The competent authority has approved the assignment of additional charge of the post of secretary, department of expenditure, to Chakraborty with immediate effect, an order issued by the personnel ministry said. 

Murmu, also a 1985-batch Gujarat-cadre IAS officer, was appointed as the Jammu and Kashmir lieutenant governor on Friday. 

Murmu, who hails from Odisha, was the principal secretary to Narendra Modi during his tenure as the Gujarat chief minister.
