New Delhi, Sep 27 (IANS) Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) chief Rajni Kant Misra was on Thursday appointed the new Director General of the Border Security Force (BSF) and BSF Special Director General S.S. Deswal as the SSB Director General.

The appointment of Deswal, a 1984-batch Haryana cadre IPS officer, will be "up to his superannuation on August 31, 2021, or until further orders, whichever is earlier".
The Ministry said that the Cabinet Committee on Appointments approved both the appointments on the basis of a proposal by the Ministry of Home Affairs.
