SHILLONG: The state government is yet to appoint a new Director General of Civil Defence and Home Guards following the retirement of Kulbir Krishan on January 31 this year.
Considering that the State is prone to various natural disasters including earthquake questions are being raised on why the nodal  Directorate dealing with the safety and security of people has been functioning without a head for the last three months.
The name of Additional Director General of Police Y.C. Modi has been doing the rounds for the vacant post but the State government is yet to give the green signal, sources said.
Five additional chief secretaries in State
Moving away from the earlier trend of appointing a single additional chief secretary, the Meghalaya government now has five additional chief secretaries.
The addl. chief secretaries include K.S. Kropha (Home and Political), Y. Tsering (Mining and Geology), P. Naik (Urban and Municipal Affairs), P.S. Thangkhiew (Civil Defence and Home Guards) and Hector Marwein (Home Passports and Prison).
