In a major development, a complaint was made to the Prime Minister’s Office about Amit Mohan Prasad, Additional Chief Secretary of UP’s Medical and Health Department.
The PMO has ordered Chief Secretary Uttar Pradesh to conduct an inquiry. The complaint against Amit Mohan Prasad was made to the PM’s office over alleged irregularities in transfer-posting in the department.
