Secretaries retiring in April likely to get extension

The union govt is likely to give 2 to 3 months extension to those Secretaries who are scheduled to retire in April. Decision in this regard is likely to be taken this week. If such a decision is taken then more than half a dozen IAS officers, who are working as Secretaries in different ministries/departments will be benefited. According to sources, since the govt is fighting a tough battle to control CoronaVirus and almost all ministries and departments are involved in this fight therefore the govt does not want to leave any important functionary in the midway.
