Bengal Chief Secretary Quits, Named Chief Adviser To Mamata Banerjee | Read

Hours after Mamata Banerjee wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi that she would not send top Bengal officer Alapan Bandyopadhyay to Delhi, she announced that he had retired as Chief Secretary and would now serve as Chief Adviser to her government for three years. Mamata Banerjee had made it clear that she would not follow the Centre's order shifting Mr Bandyopadhyay to the Centre in the middle of her state's Covid fight. The Centre, she said, responded by insisting that he has to report to Delhi.
