Additional Charges Or New Faces?

The present Electronics and IT Secretary Alkesh Sharma is going to superannuate in a day or two, Since many crucial developments have surrounded the IT Ministry, a last-minute extension to Sharma cannot be ignored, or a new calculative face may replace him. Top sources say that if a new face is not finalized and extension is ruled out, then, as usual, an additional charge may function. Another interesting case is of Telecom Secretary, which has been vacant since one month after K Rajaram was appointed as Chairman IFSCA. Both portfolios are crucial for the government, especially considering the current scenario, and have the potential to trigger small redjustments of the Secretaries, however, the present establishment prefers sometimes to open its cards in a cooled down environment, top sources say.
