The Home Ministry has taken a big action against two BSF officers and removed them from their posts. DG BSF Nitin Agarwal has been relieved from the post of DG. Hence, he has been sent back to his original cadre i.e. Kerala cadre. At the same time, Special DG YB Khurania has also been removed and sent back to Odisha cadre.
The continuous infiltration of terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir for the last one year is the main reason for the removal of DG BSF and Special DG BSF.
This is the biggest administrative action of the Indian Government regarding the infiltration of terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir, the brunt of which has fallen on the most senior officials.
Apart from this, the inability to effectively control the terrorist infiltration from Punjab sector is also considered to be a major reason for this action. This is the first time in the last several years that two senior officers, who were leading paramilitary forces, have been removed in this manner. According to the information, new officers will be appointed soon.
