K Prasanth, an officer hailing from the city, has been appointed as the provident fund (PF) commissioner in the Union Territories (UTs) of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh. The PF Act will come into force in the two UTs after the abrogation of Article 370 of the Constitution. Earlier Prasanth was serving as the PF commissioner at Bangalore.
Prasanth mentioned in a media statement that “Our priority will be the implementation of the PF Act in the UTs, replacing the state PF Act, which had a limited scope compared to the central law. We have set up offices there and start from scratch.”
Currently, he was assistant commissioner for Kozhikode, Mangaluru, Thiruvananthapuram and Tirunelveli. He has been given the charge of all the three regions — Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh.
