Aizawl: Khilli Ram Meena has been appointed as the new chief secretary of Mizoram, an official said on Thursday.

Meena, a 1993-batch officer of the AGMUT (Arunachal Pradesh, Goa, Mizoram, and Union Territories) cadre, served as an additional secretary in the Ministry of Minority Affairs before he was repatriated to his parent cadre recently.

Following the retirement of Renu Sharma, the Mizoram government, in an interim arrangement, appointed H Lalengmawia, commissioner and secretary in the higher and technical education, and fisheries departments, as the chief secretary.

Earlier, the Mizoram government had requested the Centre to name Vumlunmang Vualnam, the Manipur cadre IAS officer of the 1992 batch, to succeed Sharma, the official added.
