After the recent appointments of a few CAPF DGs, the selection process for a new CRPF DG, NCB and SSB Chief is currently underway. While administrative and procedural matters have caused a slight delay, top sources reveal that a significant overhaul at the top level of CAPF is being considered. This potential reshuffle, which is likely due to the upcoming vacancies at more DG-level posts, presents an opportunity for positive change within the organization.
The current ITBP DG, Rahul Rasgotra, is said to move out as Secretary of Security in the Cabinet Secretariat in November after Swagat Das's retirement. Sources add that Rastgotra has not been effectively able to increase ITBP's operational depth, especially after Sanjay Arora left the force to join as Delhi Police Commissioner two years back. "It seems that after Dayal in CRPF, Rasgotra's substandard operational approach has pushed the need for a new DG in ITBP,", a top source said.
After Rasgotra's possible exit in the coming months, a DG-level reshuffle is almost certain. Two new names are being considered for this reshuffle, including NPA Director Amit Garg and a possible DG-level post for Haryana DGP Shatrujeet Kapoor if the dynamics in his state change. This potential reshuffle, which is expected to bring new and old entrants, will surely bring fresh perspectives and new ideas to North Block.
