The Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC) has appointed Senior IPS officer B Srinivasan as the new Director General of the National Security Guard (NSG). Srinivasan, a 1992 batch IPS officer, will take charge until his superannuation in August 2027. This comes after the ACC cut short the tenure of the previous DG, Nalin Prabhat, who has been appointed as the Special Director General of the Jammu and Kashmir Police. The NSG is also set to establish new units in Ayodhya, Pathankot, and Kerala this year to improve response times and aid local forces.
