1. Who was recently appointed as the Additional Director General (ADG) of the ITBP?
Sanjeev Raina, a 1987-batch officer of the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), has been appointed as the Additional Director General (ADG) of the force, which is responsible for guarding the India-China Line of Actual Control (LAC). This appointment is significant as it marks only the second time in ITBP history that a cadre officer has been elevated to the ADG rank, the second highest in the force. Raina, originally from Kashmir, has had a distinguished career serving in challenging regions like Ladakh and Jammu & Kashmir, and he is also credited with establishing the counter-insurgency and jungle warfare school in Uttarakhand.
