Union Govt Curtails Tenure of NSG Chief Nalin Prabhat

The Union government has shortened the tenure of NSG Director General Nalin Prabhat, deputing him from the Andhra Pradesh cadre to the AGMUT cadre for three years or until further orders. This decision follows a proposal from the Ministry of Home Affairs, which was approved by the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet.

In a significant development on Wednesday, the Union government announced the curtailment of NSG Director General Nalin Prabhat's tenure. The Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC) endorsed a Ministry of Home Affairs proposal to reassign Prabhat to the AGMUT cadre.

The ACC's directive states that the 1992-batch IPS officer will be deputed from the Andhra Pradesh cadre to the Arunachal Pradesh-Goa-Mizoram and Union Territory (AGMUT) cadre for an initial period of three years from his joining date, in relaxation of usual inter-cadre deputation rules.

While the exact nature of his new assignment remains unspecified, it is anticipated that Prabhat may soon be entrusted with a new role.
