The government on Tuesday announced the appointment of chiefs of two key Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF).

These are the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) — which has been without a regular chief since May 25 when its then chief Subodh Jaiswal was appointed as CBI Director — and, the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), which currently has IPS officer SN Pradhan as its chief.
