The Central government has reinstated controversial IAS officer "Shah Faesal" and appointed him as Deputy Secretary in the Tourism Ministry.
The Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) in its order issued and appointed Faesal in the Union Tourism Ministry, a senior DoPT official told ANI.
The Centre's move comes four months after it accepted Faesal's application for withdrawing his resignation and reinstated him in the service in April.

Jammu and Kashmir People's Movement (JKPM) party soon after submitting his resignation. He was detained under the stringent Public Safety Act immediately after the abrogation of special status of the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir..
