Haryana cadre 1988-batch IPS officer, Manoj Yadava, at present on Central deputation to the Intelligence Bureau, is the new Director General of Police, Haryana.
"The Governor is pleased to appoint Manoj Yadav as DGP, Haryana. His term shall be for a period of two years from the date of assumption of duty," stated the order issued by Haryana Government on Monday.
Yadava, currently serving as Additional Director in the IB, has already given his consent to return to his parent state.
After the retirement of former DGP BS Sandhu, the Haryana Government had appointed Dr KP Singh, a senior IPS officer of the 1985 batch, to assume charge of DGP, Haryana, in addition to his present duties.
The tenure of B S Sandhu, who was scheduled to retire in September 2018 had ended on January 31 after he was granted a three-month extension in service earlier.
