M Angamuthu Given Additional Charge as Chairperson of Cochin Port Authority
The order stated
that, pending approval from the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet,
Angamuthu will hold the additional charge of the post until a regular
appointment is made, further orders are issued, or the six-month period
concludes, whichever occurs first. An
Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer of the Assam-Meghalaya cadre,
Angamuthu currently serves as Chairperson of Mumbai Port Authority. He had
earlier headed Visakhapatnam Port Authority as Chairperson. The appointment comes after B
Kasiviswanathan relinquished charge of Cochin Port Authority and returned to
his parent cadre, the Indian Railway Service of Mechanical Engineers (IRSME),
following his promotion. Cochin Port Authority is one of India’s 12 major ports
administered by the Union government. The interim arrangement is expected to
ensure continuity in leadership and operations until a full-time chairperson is
appointed.
