Abhishek Ranjan, currently serving as the Chief Vigilance Officer (CVO) of Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers (GRSE) Ltd, has been entrusted with additional responsibilities. According to a recent order from the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) dated October 17, 2024, Ranjan has been assigned the additional charge of the posts of CVO at Bharat Dynamics Ltd (BDL), Hyderabad, and Hindustan Shipbuilders Ltd (HSL), Visakhapatnam.
This temporary appointment will be effective until November 30, 2024, or until further orders are issued, whichever comes first.
