Lead Story
Gyanendra Pratap Singh, a senior IPS officer from the 1991 batch of the Assam-Meghalaya cadre, has been appointed as the Director General of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF). Singh, who is serving as the Director General of Police (DGP) in Assam, has been selected for this prominent role following a recommendation from the Ministry of Home Affairs.
The Appointments Committee of the Cabinet confirmed Singh’s appointment in an order issued on January 18. His tenure as CRPF chief will extend until his superannuation on November 30, 2027, or until further orders, whichever is earlier.

Singh has his task cut out as DG of one of India’s most esteemed Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF).
