New Delhi (30.09.2021): The incumbent Director-General of the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) Nasir Kamal, a 1986 batch UP cadre IPS officer, is said to have opted for premature retirement by availing of the VRS scheme. Reportedly, he wrote to the Centre this week seeking VRS. He is scheduled to retire in July 2022 Prior to joining the BCAS, he headed the National Institute of Criminology and Forensic Science (NICFS) as Director in the rank of DG. In view of the importance attached to the post of BCAS DG, his transfer from NICFS reflected the NDA administration's confidence in him. No special reason is attributed to his decision to take the VRS. A senior legal practitioner informed on the condition of anonymity that he has opted for VRS due to personal. According to him, Kamal, who holds an LLM degree, wants to settle down in the legal profession. So he might have decided to take retirement now, having reached the Apex Scale. Since the VRS acceptance normally takes three months, he would be sacrificing only seven months of his service. It's not uncommon among senior officials to start looking for alternate career arrangements from the age of 58-59 to remain gainfully 'engaged'. Since their experience in government is valued well in the corporate world, many shifts there. Others, who have legal or technical expertise, start their own practice or consultancy. There is also no shortage of officials who take life easy after retirement, sit down to write books, play golf, or become totally family men looking after their spouses (for whom they have little time during the service) and grandchildren. That's the way life is. So if Kamal has opted for the VRS, there is no surprise and his decision must be respected. (By Rakesh Ranjan)
