Two Senior Bihar IPS Officers Assigned Central Deputation Roles
In a significant administrative move, two senior Indian Police Service (IPS) officers from the Bihar cadre have been dispatched on central deputation to key paramilitary forces. The officers, Inspector General Daljit Singh and Deputy Inspector General Rajiv Mishra, will join the Border Security Force (BSF) and Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), respectively.
Details of the Central Deputation Assignments
The home department issued a formal notification on Friday, confirming the deputation of these experienced officers. This strategic placement aims to leverage their expertise in central security agencies.
Daljit Singh, a seasoned 2007-batch IPS officer, is currently serving as Inspector General in the Crime Investigation Department (CID) of Bihar. He will now take charge as Inspector General in the Border Security Force (BSF), a crucial force responsible for guarding India's international borders.
Rajiv Mishra, a 2010-batch IPS officer, is presently posted as Deputy Inspector General in the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) of Bihar. He will join the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) in the same rank of Deputy Inspector General (DIG), contributing to the security of vital industrial and infrastructure assets across the nation.
Background and Implications of the Move
This deputation highlights the ongoing integration of state cadre officers into central forces, fostering cross-functional experience and strengthening national security frameworks. Both officers bring substantial field experience from their roles in Bihar's specialized units.
The assignment of Daljit Singh to BSF is particularly notable, given the force's pivotal role in border management and counter-insurgency operations. Similarly, Rajiv Mishra's move to CISF aligns with the growing emphasis on securing critical infrastructure against emerging threats.
Such deputations are common in the IPS cadre system, allowing officers to gain diverse exposure while filling key positions in central agencies. The notification underscores the government's focus on optimizing human resources in the security sector.
