The Supreme Court has permitted the Manipur government to appoint a Director General of Police from outside the state cadre. This decision comes as the current DGP's term ends and the state faces ongoing ethnic strife. Mukesh Singh, an IPS officer from the AGMUT cadre, is likely to take over as the new DGP.
