The government of Odisha has granted permission to Arun Kumar Sarangi, a senior officer of the 1990 IPS batch, to take voluntary retirement from his position as Director of the Biju Patnaik State Police Academy. Sarangi, who previously served as the interim Director General of Police, has been appointed as the new Chairman of the Odisha Public Service Commission, starting from Monday.
In an official notification issued by the Home Department on Saturday, it was announced that Sarangi's request for voluntary retirement, which was submitted on September 30, has been approved. He had expressed his desire to retire from his service on October 7. To facilitate his retirement, the state government has relaxed certain conditions mentioned in the All India Service Rules-1958. As per these rules, Sarangi will receive all the retirement benefits that he is entitled to.
It should be noted that Sarangi's role as the Chairman of the OPSC will be governed by the Odisha Public Service Commission Regulations of 1952. This comes after his appointment was made official on September 27. It is worth mentioning that Sarangi had previously served as the acting DGP from December 31, 2023, until August 16, when YB Khurania took over the position.
All in all, this is a significant development for Sarangi as he embarks on a new journey as the Chairman of the prestigious OPSC. His contributions and experience as a senior IPS officer will undoubtedly be valuable in his new role. We wish him all the best for his future endeavors.
