Former decorated Commander of Srinagar-based 15 Corps Lt-Gen Kanwal Jeet Singh Dhillon has been appointed as Director General, Defence Intelligence Agency, and Deputy Chief of Integrating Defence Staff (Intelligence) under the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) in the Department of Military Affairs, sources said.
The Defence Intelligence Agency is an organisation responsible for providing and coordinating military intelligence for the Indian armed forces. It was created in March 2002 and is administered within the Ministry of Defence.
The Defence Intelligence Agency is also the nodal agency for all defence-related intelligence, thus distinguishing it from RAW. Lt-Gen Dhillon handed over the command of 15 Corps to Lt-Gen BS Raju on February 29.
