The DGP further highlighted the need for effective coordination with sister agencies to address law-and-order challenges, strengthen security arrangements and ensure better operational response across the state. Such coordination is considered crucial in Manipur, where multiple security and administrative agencies work together to maintain peace and stability.
Senior officers of Manipur Police were present on the occasion and welcomed the new police chief. The assumption of charge by Shri Mukesh Singh is expected to bring renewed focus on professional policing, public trust, inter-agency coordination and strict adherence to constitutional values.
As Director General of Police, Shri Mukesh Singh will lead the state police force and oversee law enforcement, internal security, crime prevention, public order management and coordination with other security agencies. His tenure begins at a time when strengthening institutional discipline, impartial policing and citizen confidence will remain among the most important priorities for Manipur Police.
