Mumbai, Dec 13 (PTI) IAS officer Ashwini Bhide was on Friday appointed as principal secretary to Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.
Bhide will continue to hold her current charge as MD of the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation until further direction, said an order from the General Administration Department.
The 1995-batch officer replaced Brijesh Singh as principal secretary in the Chief Minister’s Office.
