THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: APM Mohammed Hanish who was earlier relieved from his duties as the principal secretary in the directorate of industries and commerce was appointed back in the same department. This is the third time that Hanish was transferred from different posts across departments.
Hanish was relieved from duties amidst the turbulence of the AI camera scam. He was then made the revenue principal secretary on May 7. He was also given additional responsibility for the housing board. However, on the very next day, Hanish was changed to the principal secretary of the health department. And now, he is returning back to square one taking charge as the principal secretary in the directorate of industries and commerce.
Days before, Hanish submitted the AI camera report to the government. According to his findings, there exists no scam while the Keltron has conformed to the rules made by the central vigilance commission.
Meanwhile, Tinku Biswal IAS was made the revenue principal secretary in another major reshuffle within IAS cadres.
