Prime Minister Narendra Modi today chaired a meeting over the appointment of the next Central Information Commissioner (CIC) and Central Vigilance Commissioner (CVC) at his official residence at 7, Race Course Road.
The post of the Chief Information Commissioner has been lying vacant for over nine months after Rajiv Mathur’s term ended in August 2014, while Central Vigilance Commissioner Pradeep Kumar completed his term in September last year.
Speaking on the development, Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge said, “Today there was a meeting for the CIC and the CVC and the matter was discussed and some names were recommended to the President of India. And after receiving that, the final list will be announced by the President of India”.
