BSF Chief, His Deputy’s Tenure Cut Short; Sent Back To Parent Cadre ‘With Immediate Effect’ – News18

The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) removed the Border Security Force (BSF) Director General (DG) Nitin Agrawal and his deputy Special DG (West) Y B Khurania, sending them back to their respective state cadres with immediate effect, a government order issued on Friday said.

1989-batch Kerala cadre officer, Agrawal, and Khurania from the 1990-batch of the Odisha cadre, have been “prematurely” repatriated with “immediate effect,” according to separate orders issued by the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC). Khurania is likely to be the new DGP of Odisha Police.

Agrawal had taken charge as the Border Security Force chief in June last year, while Khurania, as the special DG (West), was heading the formation of the force along the Pakistan border.
