The Uttar Pradesh government on Wednesday appointed HC Awasthi (IPS:1985:UP) as full-time Director General of Police (DGP). Awasthi was DG (Vigilance) when he took the charge of acting DGP from OP Singh who retired on January 31 this year. It took 33 days for the Yogi Adityanath government to decide the name of the permanent DGP.
The order appointing Awasthi as full-time DGP was issued by Additional Chief Secretary (Home) Awanish Awasthi on Wednesday.
