RR Swain appointed as DGP of Jammu and Kashmir

Srinagar: RR Swain has been appointed as the Director General of Police, Jammu and Kashmir. The Ministry of Home Affairs confirmed Swain’s appointment, which will be effective until September 30, 2024

An order issued by the MHA on Wednesday said that with the approval of the competent authority, R. R.Swain IPS (AGMUT: 1991) currently holding the additional charge of the Director General of Police Jammu and Kashmir is hereby appointed to the post of Director General of Police with effect from the date of assumption of charge and till 30-09-2024 or until further orders whichever is earlier.

R.R. Swain is one of those police officers of the erstwhile Jammu & Kashmir cadre of the IPS who are seen at the very forefront of fighting terrorism and the terror ecosystem in JK.

Swain is seen as a non-compromising hardcore, honest nationalist police officer for whom corruption and indiscipline are intolerable as the police chief.

As the Special Director Intelligence Department, Swain has been rendering service while identifying, tackling and sidelining those helping terrorism, separatism, narco-smuggling and terror funding.

He has earned a lot of praise for his largely popular ‘Public Darbars’ during which he has been resolving the grievances of the people on the spot.
