Srinagar- Shah Faesal, who had resigned from the IAS to join politics, has been appointed Deputy Secretary in the tourism Ministry.
In an order issued two days ago, the Department of Personnel and Training appointed Faesal in the Tourism Ministry.
Recently, Faesal had given an application seeking reinstatement in the services, which was accepted by the Union government. After two months, the Central government has given this responsibility to Faesal.
Faesal, who submitted his resignation in January 2019 and floated the Jammu and Kashmir People's Movement (JKPM) party, was detained under the stringent Public Safety Act immediately after the abrogation of special status of the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir.
However, after his release, Faesal gave up on politics and started dropping hints of his willingness to rejoin government service. His resignation had not been accepted.
The doctor-turned-bureaucrat formed his party to“revive democratic politics” in Jammu and Kashmir but his political career ended abruptly.
Hailing from the remote village of Lolab in north Kashmir, Faesal, whose father was killed by militants in 2002, had topped the UPSC examination in 2009. He was detained at Delhi airport on the intervening night of August 14-15, 2019, and sent back to Srinagar and placed under detention. He was booked under the draconian Public Safety Act in February 2020 which was revoked four months later.
