Manipur DGP Transferred to Cabinet Secretariat

Rajiv Singh has been appointed as the Secretary (Security) in the Cabinet Secretariat, a position that typically involves overseeing matters related to national security and the coordination of security protocols across various government agencies. Singh previously served as the Police Chief of Manipur, a role to which he was appointed under relaxed service conditions due to the eruption of ethnic violence in the state on May 3, 2023.

His appointment comes at a critical time when the government is focusing on enhancing security measures and addressing regional conflicts. As Police Chief, Singh played a pivotal role in managing law and order during a period of significant unrest, which highlighted the need for robust security strategies in the region. His experience in handling crisis situations is expected to contribute to his new responsibilities in the Cabinet Secretariat, where he will be tasked with ensuring the safety and security of the nation.
