The rank and role have changed, but the mission remains the same, wrote IPS Manish Kumar after his new posting.
IAS Ria Dabi and her husband, IPS Manish Kumar, are often in the news due to their professional roles. The young IPS Manish recently made the headlines again after being appointed as the Superintendent of Police (SP) of Dungarpur district in Rajasthan. The state government recently transferred several officers, including IPS Manish. Earlier, he was serving as an ASP in Udaipur. The IAS-IPS couple were posted together in the same district, and are now posted around 100 km apart.
After taking the role of SP Dungapur, IPS Manish wrote, "From ASP in Udaipur to SP in Dungarpur—the Rank and role has changed, but the mission remains same: nurturing trust, ensuring safety, and standing beside every citizen of this beautiful district. Here’s to deeper connections and meaningful change."
