Goyal Takes Over As Home Secretary

Wherever required and appropriate, improvements will be made within the given time-lines. This will be so done in close association and coordination with the state governments and Union Territories," Goyal said.

Goswami was last night shown the door in the wake of the controversy over his alleged attempt to talk to CBI officers to stall the arrest of Sinh, a former Congress minister at the Centre. Sinh was arrested on Saturday last.

After he was asked to resign, Goswami, a 1978-batch IAS officer of Jammu and Kashmri cadre, made a request for voluntary retirement with immediate effect by waiving the notice period which was accepted by the government.

Goswami was appointed as Home Secretary in 2013 during the tenure of UPA Government. He turned 60 last month and would have continued till June 30.
