Who among the following was appointed as Director General (DG) of the Border Security Force (BSF) in August 2024?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Daljit Singh Chaudhary.
The officer appointed as Director General (DG) of the Border Security Force (BSF) in August 2024 was Daljit Singh Chaudhary. He, a 1990-batch IPS officer of the Uttar Pradesh cadre, was given the additional charge of DG BSF on 3 August 2024, following the premature repatriation of his predecessor.
Brief mention of the other options:
-
Nitin Agarwal (Kerala cadre, 1989 batch) was the DG BSF prior to August 2024, but he was repatriated ahead of term.
-
Pankaj Kumar Singh served as DG BSF earlier (from September 2021 to December 2022) but not in August 2024.
-
Amrit Mohan Prasad is not associated with the DG BSF appointment in August 2024 and instead holds other postings.
Hence, the correct answer is Daljit Singh Chaudhary.
