Prasar Bharati CEO Jawhar Sircar today indicated he may resign from the post before his tenure ends in February next year as he mentioned in a Facebook post that he hoped to be "back home before winter".
"Too many queries, since 4 news today: let me clear the air, to friends. This one is closest to truth: I hope to be back home before winter. Retire after 41+ years: to read, write and relate," Sircar wrote.
Yesterday Sircar had told PTI he was considering quitting and he has thought "very strongly" about this option.
The Prasar Bharati CEO, however, emphasised he had some important tasks related to making the processes transparent on his mind before he actually puts in his papers.
Sircar, who had retired as Secretary Culture in the Union government, was appointed as Prasar Bharati CEO in 2012 and his term is due to end in February.
