Chairman of Board of Revenue Anil Kumar Gupta took over as the Chairman of the UP IAS Association on Friday.
A 1979 batch officer, he is the senior most IAS officer of UP cadre. His appointment was approved by the executive committee of the association which met here on Friday.
Gupta takes over from Rakesh Bahadur, also a 1979 batch IAS officer, who retired from service in May and his last posting was that of Investment Commissioner.
Secretary of the Association Bhuvnesh Kumar said that the meeting also discussed the proposal for approaching the government for grant of Chief Secretary scale to all IAS officers of the 1985 batch. The Committee also decided to move the state government for sanction of the cash less treatment facilities at the PGI for IAS officers also. This facility was recently sanctioned by the state government to media persons and law officers.
Kumar said that this facility for the IAS would entail no additional financial burden on the state exchequer.
