Guwahati, August 8, 2023- Assam’s DGP G.P. Singh and 13 other IPS officers will receive a deputation from the Central government, an official notification said.
A list of the 14 top police officers who would be appointed to positions at the Centre was issued on Monday.
The Appointments Committee of the Cabinet has authorised the empanelment of the IPS officers to hold posts in the Centre at the level indicated against their names, according to the official notification.
G.P. Singh will hold the position of Central Director General (DG), according to the list.
