Assam Police chief Gyanendra Pratap Singh has been appointed the Director General of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), according to a Personnel Ministry order.

Singh is a 1991 batch IPS officer of the Assam-Meghalaya cadre.

The Appointments Committee of the Cabinet has approved Singh's appointment as the CRPF DG till the date of his retirement on November 30, 2027, the order dated January 18 said.

Senior IPS officer Vitul Kumar has been holding officiating charge of the force after the retirement of Anish Dayal Singh on December 31, 2024.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
