The Indian government has appointed Anish Dayal Singh, a retired IPS officer and former Director General of the CRPF, as the new Deputy National Security Advisor to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Singh, who has a strong background in counterinsurgency and border security, played a crucial role in enhancing the operational efficiency of the CRPF, particularly in anti-Naxal operations and securing elections. His leadership saw the establishment of forward operating bases in conflict areas and a significant restructuring of CRPF battalions. This appointment reflects India’s commitment to bolstering its national security apparatus and effective governance in challenging environments, ensuring a proactive stance against internal and external threats.
