Nupur Kulshrestha becomes first woman DIG of Indian Coast Guard

Nupur Kulshrestha becomes the first woman to be promoted as Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Indian Coast Guard.

She had joined the Coast Guard service in 1999 and became the first woman to be promoted to the DIG cadre. In 2018, the then DIG B K Loshali has been dismissed from his services following enquires on his comments that contradicted the government’s announcement on a Pakistan boat explosion case.
