New Delhi/UNI: President Ram Nath Kovind on Saturday administered the oath of Chief Information Commissioner (CIC) to Yashvardhan Kumar Sinha at a ceremony held here at Rashtrapati Bhavan.
The 62-year-old Sinha will have a tenure of about three years as the CIC.
Sinha, a 1981-batch Indian Foreign Service officer, had earlier served as Central Information Commissioner.
