- The agency got one post at additional director general (ADG) rank and six at the rank of inspector general
- National Investigation Agency (NIA)
As the National Investigation Agency expands fast to deal with terrorists and organised gangs, the government has sanctioned few new posts at top in the agency. The agency got one post at additional director general (ADG) rank and six at the rank of inspector general. But the agency had already had ADG, Atul Chandra Kulkarni, who was later promoted as special director general before retiring on January 31.
But when Kulkarni was appointed there was no sanctioned post of ADG in the agency, therefore a post of inspector general was transferred to the NIA from the paramilitary Border Security Force and upgraded to the rank of ADG for appointing Kulkarni.
Since now NIA has got its own sanctioned of ADG, the post created to appoint Kulkarni now stands reverted back to the BSF. So now the NIA will get a new ADG in the newly created post of ADG of its own!Related Stories
