Senior IPS officer Rajiv Singh (IPS:1993:TR) currently working as an IG, CRPF, has been sent to Manipur and, likely to be appointed in a key post to handle the prevailing security situation in the state. According to an official order, Singh has been sent to Manipur on inter-cadre deputation for three years.
“The undersigned is directed to refer to the subject cited above and to convey the approval of Appointments Committee of the Cabinet for Inter-cadre deputation of Shri Rajiv Singh, IPS (TR:93), presently working as IG, CRPF, from Tripura cadre to Manipur cadre for a period of three years from the date of joining, in relaxation of the policy as a special case in public interest,” the union home ministry order said.
The ministry also directed the CRPF to relieve Singh immediately to enable him to take up his new assignment. Sources said Singh is likely to be given key responsibility for handling the prevailing situation in Manipur. Soon after violence broke out in the state on May 3, the central government appointed former CRPF Chief Kuldiep Singh (Retd.IPS:1986:WB) as a Security Adviser to the Manipur government.
