NEW DELHI, Feb 18: The Ministry of Home Affairs has transferred the security cover of CRPF chief G P Singh from the CISF to his force.
The Central Reserve Police Force had written to the ministry sometime ago, seeking for the change.
Singh, a 1991-batch Indian Police Service officer, took over as the CRPF director general in January. He was under a Z-category central security cover provided by the armed commandos of the Central Industrial Security Force for years, keeping in view his stints in his cadre-state Assam and the National Investigation Agency.
The CRPF DG is now being guarded by the VIP security wing of his force, after the MHA transferred the job to it from the CISF.
