The Appointments Committee of the Cabinet has approved the appointment of Srinivasan as Director General of the Nuclear Suppliers Group from the date of joining the post to August 31, 2027 (i.e. the date of his pension), the order said.
Senior IPS officer B Srinivasan was on Tuesday appointed director general of the country's anti-terrorism force, the National Security Guard (NSG), according to a Personnel Ministry order.
Srinivasan is a 1992 batch officer of the Bihar cadre of the Indian Police Service (IPS).
The Appointments Committee of the Cabinet has approved the appointment of Srinivasan as Director General of the Nuclear Suppliers Group from the date of joining the post to August 31, 2027 (i.e. the date of his pension), the order said.
He is currently serving as the Director of Bihar Police Academy, Rajgir.
The Federal Emergency Service NSG was established in 1984 and is commonly known as the “Black Cat”.
The post of NSG Governor has been lying vacant after the current Nalin Prabhat was appointed as the new Director General of Jammu and Kashmir Police.
He was appointed head of the Nuclear Suppliers Group in April this year and will serve until August 31, 2028 (his retirement date).
However, the Center shortened his tenure on August 15 and appointed him as Jammu and Kashmir Police Chief.
Prabhat, who has joined the Jammu and Kashmir Police as special commissioner, will take charge of the force after the retirement of current Jammu and Kashmir Police Commissioner RR Swain on September 30.
After Prabhat took charge, Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) Director General Anish Dayal Singh took additional charge of the National Security Group.
