Lead Story
It’s not every day that a coincidence this delightful unfolds in the corridors of Indian bureaucracy. On December 19, 2024, Alok Raj, a senior IPS officer of the 1989 Bihar cadre and former DGP of Bihar Police, was appointed Chairman of the Bihar Staff Selection Commission (BSSC). Barely a day later, another Alok Raj - Major General Alok Raj of Rajasthan and who is the Chairman of similar agency in Rajasthan Staff Selection Board (RSSB) - took to his X (formerly Twitter) handle (@alokrajRSSB) to celebrate this serendipity.
With a dash of humor, Major General Alok Raj posted in Hindi, which translates to: “This is a pleasant coincidence. Bihar's former DGP Alok Raj has been appointed Chairman of BSSC. In Rajasthan, this is called a Board. My heartiest congratulations. I am sure I shall be able to learn a lot from Bihar.”
