In what is described as a near-certain transfer, Mukesh Singh, currently serving as Director General of Police in Ladakh, is poised to become the new DGP of Manipur. The 1996-batch IPS officer of the AGMUT cadre has already been formally transferred to the state, paving the way for his elevation to the top police post. Singh's impending appointment comes as Manipur continues to navigate a complex security environment, making the choice of a seasoned officer with inter-state experience a particularly significant one.
