IPS Officer Jitendra Shukla to Join NSG

Jitendra Shukla, a 2013-batch IPS officer of the Chhattisgarh cadre, is set to join the National Security Guard (NSG) under the Government of India. His induction into the elite counter-terrorism force marks another instance of experienced state cadre officers being deployed for national security assignments.

The NSG plays a critical role in counter-terrorism, hostage rescue, and high-risk security operations across the country. Officers deputed to the force are typically selected based on operational experience, leadership qualities, and specialised training.
