NEW DELHI: Arvind Kumar, Joint Secretary (Broadcasting) in the Information and Broadcasting Ministry, has been asked to stay on ?until further orders?.

Earlier, he had been asked to take over as the chief vigilance officer in the National Buildings Construction Corporation from 1 October.

Arvind Kumar, an Indian Administrative Service officer from Uttar Pradesh from the 1988 batch, had been elevated from the post of director in August last year. He succeeded the slot vacated by Zohra Chatterji.

Kumar completed his five-year term with the Central Government in May but his term had been extended in view of some incomplete projects of the Ministry relating to broadcasting.
