Manoj Malviya confirmed as state director general of police

Malviya took charge on 1 September this year as acting DG since his name was due to be cleared by the UPSC state consultative process. His predecessor Virendra, who was appointed as DG in 2018 was removed by the Election Commission during the Assembly election but was reinstated by the Mamata Banerjee government after coming to power for the third time in a row.
