Bhubaneswar: The state government Tuesday declined IAS officer Sujata Karthikeyan’s application seeking an extension of child care leave (CCL) for a further six months.
She has been asked to join as the special secretary to the Finance department from Wednesday.
In a letter to Karthikeyan, Additional Secretary Manoj Kumar Mohanty said, “After careful consideration, your leave application for extension of child care leave for a further period of six months is not acceded. Therefore you are requested to join office November 27.” Notably, Karthikeyan has been on leave since May 31, 2024.
