Vinaytosh Mishra Assumes Additional Charge as Odisha Director General of Police
Senior IPS officer Vinaytosh Mishra took additional charge as Odisha's Director General of Police (DGP) following the retirement of Yogesh Bahadur Khurania. Mishra, a 1993-batch officer and current DGP of the Crime Branch, will lead the state police until a regular DGP is appointed. He emphasized priorities including women's safety, combating cybercrime, drug control, and assisting flood-affected areas in coordination with disaster authorities. His appointment comes amid a Supreme Court stay on the regular DGP selection process.
