BSF Chief Nitin Aggarwal and Deputy Chiefs Removed by Central Government

In a significant development, the Centre has taken decisive action by removing Border Security Force (BSF) Director General Nitin Aggarwal and Deputy Special Director General YB Khurania from their positions. This decision, issued by the Cabinet Appointments Committee, marks a notable shake-up within the paramilitary force.Nitin Aggarwal, a seasoned officer of the 1989 Kerala cadre, and YB Khurania, a 1990 Odisha cadre officer, have been relieved of their duties amidst growing concerns over escalating infiltration across the international border. Sources close to the matter have cited the surge in cross-border activities as a pivotal factor influencing this decision.The move underscores the government’s commitment to bolstering national security measures, particularly in regions vulnerable to external threats. It also reflects a strategic realignment within the BSF leadership to address operational challenges effectively.
