An Indian Police Service officer from the 2006 batch has taken charge as Inspector General of the Central Reserve Police Force for Jammu, as reported by Kashmir Life.
A senior Indian Police Service (IPS) officer belonging to the 2006 batch has assumed the post of Inspector General (IG) of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) for the Jammu area, according to a report by Kashmir Life. The appointment places the officer at the helm of CRPF operations in a region that has long required robust internal security management.
The IG role involves overseeing the deployment of CRPF personnel, coordinating counter‑insurgency efforts, and ensuring the safety of civilians in Jammu and surrounding districts. The officer's experience in policing and prior assignments are expected to strengthen the force's operational readiness.
Kashmir Life noted that the new IG will report to the CRPF Director General and work closely with the Jammu and Kashmir Police and the Army to maintain law and order. The move reflects the government's continued focus on reinforcing security leadership in the strategically sensitive northern state.
