Anantapur: The state government has accepted the VRS being availed of by senior IAS officer, Somesh Kumar, who was the chief secretary of Telangana before being shifted to Andhra Pradesh. Although he reported to the Chief Minister following court directions, he was not allotted any post all these days.
Sources said he was not interested to continue in service though it ends in December.
Kumar, who is close to Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, has worked in various positions including as Anantapur collector. His achievements include the boost to tamarind trees with the ‘chinta to nischintha’ concept. The tamarind trees are now providing environmental protection in drought-hit Anantapur.
Sources said that Kumar will decide his future as he has several offers on hand, including from the Telangana government.
Efforts by Deccan Chronicle to contact Somesh Kumar for his opinion went in vain.
