HYDERABAD: Two IPS officers — additional director-general of police (Law & Order) Jitender and National Industrial Security Academy (NISA) director CV Anand — of Telangana cadre have been empanelled to work for the Centre at the rank of additional director general (ADG).
The appointments committee of the Union cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, cleared a list of 14 IPS officers across the country. “The appointments committee of the cabinet has approved empanelment of the following officers of Indian Police Service (IPS) for holding ADG/ADG equivalent level posts at the Centre,” the Centre said in an order.
The officers would be appointed by the Union government in the available vacancy in different central security agencies at the rank of ADG. However, it is the choice of the officer concerned to avail the opportunity to serve the Union government or continue to work for their allotted cadre state. “To be even eligible to be made ADG in the Union government, one needs to have done at least one central deputation of 3 to 5 years earlier,” an IPS officer said.
The empanelment would be done by the Centre after an extensive vetting of career records of eligible IPS officers. In the last empanelment, IPS officers from the batch of 1990 to 1992 were selected. Similarly, from AP, 1992 batch IPS officer Nalin Prabhat was empanelled.
