Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC) approved the appointment of both the officers with effect from September 11, 2019 (Wednesday) mentioning that their appointments would be co-terminus with the term of the Prime Minister or until further orders, whichever is earlier, said two separate orders issued from the ministry.
