The Ministry of Home Affairs has appointed IPS officer Shashank Anand (IPS:2006:HY) as the new Inspector General (IG) of the Border Security Force (BSF) for the strategic Jammu sector.

Anand succeeds DK Boora, who has been transferred to the BSF headquarters in Delhi. Boora led the Jammu Frontier for nearly four years.

Before this appointment, Anand served as Deputy Inspector General (DIG) in the BSF’s Punjab Frontier.

The BSF is responsible for guarding the nearly 200-km-long Indo-Pak international border stretching across Kathua, Samba, and Jammu districts.
