Chandigarh, December 6.
The Punjab Government has chosen Lt Gen NPS Hira as chairman of the Punjab Public Service Commission (PPSC). Tejinder Kaur Dhaliwal, chairman of the Punjab School Education Board, has been chosen as a member of the board.
The duo have been chosen as members by a high-powered committee of the Punjab Government, headed by Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal.
Lt Gen Hira was appointed Deputy Chief of Army Staff in March this year. He was earlier posted as Chief of Staff of Northern Command at Udhampur. He will take over the reins of the PPSC from Lt Gen (retd) TS Gill, who demitted office in September.
Official sources say that though the names have been cleared, the final approval of the Governor has to be sought, before the notification regarding their appointment can be issued.
