Parida will take over as the chairman of the National Authority of Chemical Weapons Convention.
While leaving, he had said: "I am happy to get a chance to serve in Govt of India at the Secretary level. But I am happier that at least Corona is under Control in Chandigarh when I am leaving."
Parida had joined as an advisor in December 2018. Parida, who returns to Delhi after two and a half years, will take over as the chairman of the National Authority of Chemical Weapons Convention.
