The key appointment of the Andhra Pradesh government has been made by appointing AB Venkateswara Rao, a retired IPS officer and former Intelligence Chief. This development is very significant after his challenging tenure in the YSR Congress-led government, when he was suspended several times and faced various other hurdles. This is a time when discussions are going on whether the regime change has brought justice to those affected.
In a move steered by Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, the Andhra Pradesh government issued a formal Government Order today, appointing Venkateswara Rao as Chairman of the AP Police Housing Corporation. The order, signed by Home Secretary Kumar Vishwajeet, states that he shall continue to hold the office for a period of two years from the date he assumes the office. Further, the Home Department has announced that detailed rules and regulations governing his new position would be released soon.
