Five Separate Orders Issued by MHA
The Ministry of Home Affairs issued five separate orders to formalise these appointments.
The postings are part of the central government’s efforts to strengthen leadership across central armed police forces and national policing institutions.
These organisations play a crucial role in internal security, border management, and national crime data systems, making senior-level appointments vital for effective administration and operational efficiency.
Strengthening Leadership in Key Security Agencies
The newly appointed officers will assume important responsibilities within their respective organisations.

Meanwhile, the National Crime Records Bureau functions as the central repository for crime statistics and supports law enforcement agencies across the country through advanced data systems and analytics.
The appointments are expected to strengthen operational leadership and administrative capacity across these critical institutions.
