The Directorate General of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) has executed a significant administrative reshuffle on Tuesday, October 6, 2026, transferring five senior Deputy Inspectors General (DIGs)—including two high-ranking Indian Police Service (IPS) cadre officers—across strategic national postings. Among the key developments, DIG Jitendra Kumar Tiwari, who was helming the high-security CISF unit at the Bokaro Steel Limited (BSL) plant in Jharkhand, has been abruptly transferred to the Department of Space (DOS-1) Headquarters in Bengaluru. The sudden transfer comes just three months into Tiwari's tenure at Bokaro, where he had taken charge on July 4, 2026, following a preceding stint at the Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL) unit in Dhanbad.
Rajiv Mishra Likely to Assume Additional Charge of High-Security Bokaro Steel Unit
The administrative movement has triggered interim command arrangements across Jharkhand's industrial security corridors:
Interim Leadership Transition: Because the central paramilitary headquarters has not immediately posted a full-time successor to lead the BSL Bokaro contingent, administrative oversight is expected to shift to neighboring commands.
BCCL Dhanbad DIG's Additional Mandate: Rajiv Mishra, currently heading the CISF deployment at BCCL Dhanbad, is slated to hold additional charge of the strategic Bokaro Steel Plant unit to ensure operational continuity.
Familiarity with Ground Deployments: Rajiv Mishra previously commanded the Bokaro Steel Limited unit as DIG before swapping jurisdictions with Jitendra Tiwari on July 4, 2026, ensuring seamless institutional oversight across the steel production facility.

DIG Jitendra Kumar Tiwari: Reassigned from the strategic BSL Bokaro Unit in Jharkhand to head security protocols at DOS-1 Bengaluru Headquarters.
DIG Aparajita Mahapatra: Relieved from DOS-1 Bengaluru Headquarters and positioned at the centralized New Delhi CISF Headquarters.
