  10. GK Updates (21st Dec, 2014)

    Good Morning Everyone. :)

    1. भारतीय पुरुष टीम ने लगातार पांचवां कबड्डी विश्व कप खिताब जीत लिया है जबकि महिला टीम लगातार चौथी बार चैंपियन बनी है। फाइनल में भारतीय पुरुष टीम ने पाकिस्तान को चौथी बार 45-42 से हराया जबकि महिला टीम ने दूसरी बार न्यू जीलैंड को 36-27 से मात दी।

    2. केरला ब्लास्टर्स और एटलेटिको डी कोलकाता के बीच शनिवार को डी. वाई. पाटिल स्टेडियम में हुआ इंडियन सुपर लीग (आईएसएल) का फाइनल मुकाबला बेहद रोमांचक रहा। आखिरी मिनट में भारतीय स्ट्राइकर मोहम्मद रफीक के गोल की कोलकाता आईएसएल के पहले संस्करण का चैम्पियन बन गया।
    फाइनल मुकाबले में सौरभ गांगुली की टीम एटलेटिको डी कोलकाता ने सचिन तेंडुलकर की टीम केरला ब्लास्टर्स एफसी को 1-0 से हराया। मैच के 90वें मिनट में पोंडानी के कॉर्नर पर रफीक ने हेडर के जरिए निर्णायक गोल किया।

    3. देश की खुफिया एजेंसी रिसर्च ऐंड अनैलेसिस विंग (रॉ) में विशेष सचिव रजिंदर खन्ना को शनिवार को इसका नया प्रमुख नियुक्त किया गया।
    प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी की अध्यक्षता में कैबिनेट की नियुक्ति समिति ने 1978 बैच के आरएएस कैडर अधिकारी खन्ना के नाम को मंजूरी दी। उनकी नियुक्ति मौजूदा प्रमुख आलोक जोशी के अवकाश ग्रहण करने के बाद 31 दिसंबर से दो साल की अवधि के लिए होगी।

    4. केंद्रीय गृह मंत्रालय में विशेष सचिव (आंतरिक सुरक्षा) प्रकाश मिश्र को सीआरपीएफ का प्रमुख बनाया गया है। केंद्रीय रिजर्व पुलिस बल (सीआरपीएफ) देश का सबसे बड़ा अर्धसैनिक बल है, जिसमें तीन लाख से ज्यादा कर्मी हैं।
    सीआरपीएफ प्रमुख नियुक्त किए गए मिश्र 1977 बैच के ओडि़शा कैडर के आईपीएस अधिकारी हैं। यह पद दिलीप त्रिवेदी के 30 नवंबर को अवकाश ग्रहण करने के बाद से खाली था।

    5. अरविंद सक्सेना को एविएशन रिसर्च सेंटर (एआरसी) का प्रमुख बनाया गया है।
    सक्सेना 1978 बैच के आरएएस अधिकारी हैं। वह एआरसी के निदेशक होंगे। एआरसी मानवरहित हवाई वाहनों तथा मिग एवं हेलिकॉप्टरों आदि के जरिए सीमाओं की हवाई निगरानी करता है। सक्सेना अगले साल अगस्त तक पद पर रहेंगे।

    Cheers!
