Former CRPF and ITBP Director General Anish Dayal Singh has been appointed as Deputy National Security Advisor (NSA), a move reflecting the government’s focus on strengthening internal security mechanisms.
Singh, a distinguished IPS officer, brings decades of experience in paramilitary leadership and counter-insurgency operations. Having helmed the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), he has been at the forefront of managing internal security challenges, ranging from Left Wing Extremism to border security.
As Deputy NSA, Singh will specifically handle internal affairs, a portfolio critical to national stability. His appointment underscores the government’s strategy to draw on seasoned policing expertise for policy planning and national security coordination.
Known for his operational acumen and administrative skills, Singh’s elevation is seen as a reinforcement of the NSA Secretariat’s capacity to address evolving threats. Security experts note that his background in leading the country’s largest paramilitary force will provide valuable insights into grassroots challenges and coordination between central and state agencies.
With India facing complex security dynamics, Singh’s role as Deputy NSA is expected to bridge operational experience with strategic decision-making, strengthening the architecture of national security at a crucial juncture.
