Gautam Sawang takes charge as APPSC Chairman

Damodar Gautam Sawang, who was recently sacked from his top post as Andhra Pradesh DGP, took charge as the chairman of the Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission (APPSC) on Thursday.

After taking over as the APPSC chairman, the 1986-batch IPS officer called on Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy. He was appointed to this post on February 18, three days after he was dethroned as the police chief.

The Governor of Andhra Pradesh made the appointment under Articles 316 (1) and 316 (2) of the Constitution of India. Sawang, who succeeded in-charge chairman AV Ramana Reddy, will hold the post of APPSC chairman for a period of six years.

The Andhra Pradesh government, on February 15, removed Gautam Sawang as Director General of Police and appointed Kasireddy VRN Reddy as the new police chief.
