SHILLONG, JULY 26: Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma on Monday said the government will soon appoint the new chief secretary of the state.

“Yes, the next chief secretary’s file has already been processed and the name will come out in a day or two. It is a question of another two-three days,” Sangma told reporters after the cabinet meeting.

He also thanked the outgoing chief secretary Rebecca Suchiang for her contribution. Suchiang will be retiring this month.

“Today was her last cabinet with us. She has really contributed a lot and I am very thankful to her and we wish her the very best in the future,” Sangma said.

Asked if the additional chief secretary DP Wahlang will be the new chief secretary of the state, the chief minister however refused to divulge further details by saying “You will come to know”.
