Former Delhi Police Commissioner Y S Dadwal and retired IAS officer G S Patnaik have been appointed as advisors to the Arunachal Pradesh Governor after the Centre today brought the state under President's rule.
"The two officials have been appointed as advisors to Governor Jyoti Prasad Rajkhowa," an official source said.
While Dadwal is a 1974-batch IPS officer who retired in 2011 from paramilitary SSB after being the Delhi Police chief, Patnaik is a 1980-batch IAS officer who retired after serving in the Delhi government in various capacities.
