Former IAS officer Sanjay Kothari takes oath as CVC
Retired IAS officer Sanjay Kothari, who was secretary to President Ram Nath Kovind, took oath as the new Chief Vigilance Commissioner (CVC) on Saturday, the Rashtrapati Bhavan said in a communication.
The post of CVC, autonomous anti-corruption watchdog, was lying vacant since June last year and Vigilance Commissioner Sharad Kumar was holding the interim charge of the top post since then.
Kothari, an officer from the 1978 batch from Haryana, was named as new CVC by a high powered committee headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in February this year. In the same meeting, ex-Broadcasting Secretary Bimal Julka was appointed as the next Chief Information Commissioner (CIC).
