Agartala : Pranay Sahaya, a special director general in the Border Security Force (BSF) has been appointed secretary (security) in the cabinet secretariat in New Delhi, an official said Sunday.
He will succeed B.K Dey, who retired recently, the official said.
Sahaya, a 1975 batch Tripura-Manipur cadre Indian Police Service (IPS) officer, is currently the special director general (east) of the Border Security Force (BSF) posted in Kolkata. He was previously Tripura’s police chief.
“The senior IPS officer, who has served Tripura for many years, has played a crucial role in taming the four-decades-old terrorism in the northeastern state,” a senior Tripura police official said.
Sahaya told IANS by phone from Kolkata that he would join in the new postings later this month.
