Dilip Cherian | Kerala babu finds himself caught in crossfire between gov, Vijayan

Deccan Chronicle  

The ongoing power tussle between Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan and governor Arif Mohammed Khan is inevitably affecting the babus. Babu observers have informed DKB that this is surely the first time that the list of officers whose names have not been approved for empanelment has been made public. # Meghalaya seeks separate cadre for IAS, IPS officers Recent incidents of firing on the Assam-Meghalaya border have highlighted the five-decade-old border issue between the two northeastern states. In a recent visit to Delhi, chief minister Conrad Sangma pressed Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union home minister Amit Shah for bifurcation of the Assam-Meghalaya cadre for IAS and IPS officers. Sources have informed DKB that the ministry of home affairs does not favour creating a separate cadre for Meghalaya; therefore, the Centre is unlikely to concede to the state’s demand.
