  • The Centre has granted a one-year extension to Union Home Secretary Ajay Kumar Bhalla until August 22, 2024.
  • The decision was announced through a notification issued by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT).
  • The Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC) approved this extension, marking the fourth time Bhalla's tenure has been extended.
  • Originally set to retire in November 2020 after a two-year term, his tenure was first extended on October 17, 2020, until August 22, 2021.
  • Subsequently, he received two additional one-year extensions until the current extension. This move is significant as the government faces various internal security challenges, including unrest in Manipur and the rise of pro-Khalistan elements.
