Rajiv Singh, a 1993-batch IPS officer of the Tripura cadre and current Director General of Police (DGP) in Manipur since June 2023, has been appointed Secretary (Security) in the Cabinet Secretariat by the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet. Singh took charge amid ongoing ethnic violence in Manipur that began in May 2023, resulting in significant casualties and displacement. His appointment follows the revocation of President's Rule in Manipur earlier this year, with the new state government led by Chief Minister Y Khemchand Singh.
