Mallikarjun Kharge’s reported remark about PM Modi’s late father raises a serious question about the declining standards of political discourse. Political rivalry is no excuse for personal insults, particularly involving a deceased parent. Criticise the Prime Minister’s policies and performance, but never abandon dignity, restraint and basic human decency.
Despicable !!

My write up in Times of India…

[N RAMACHANDRAN @NRamchandranIPS]

Today, 22 September, is Police Reforms Day, marking the anniversary of the historic Supreme Court judgment on police reforms. Since its establishment on 21 October 2015, the Indian Police Foundation has been observing this occasion as an opportunity to renew the national commitment to police reform.

Police reform must proceed along two equally important paths. The structural safeguards mandated by the Supreme Court must be implemented in letter and spirit to protect professional policing from improper interference and strengthen accountability. Equally important are internal reform, professionalisation, ethical leadership and an organisational culture grounded in the Constitution, neutrality and the rule of law.

Reform is not the responsibility of governments alone. Every police officer, from Constable to DGP, has a duty to remain steadfast in upholding the law without fear or favour, and without regard to political affiliation, religious identity, caste, status, or influence. Police neutrality is critical to strengthen public trust, preserve constitutional values, promote economic progress and help secure India's future as a prosperous, stable, and confident democracy.

Fair trials begin with fair disclosure. Today, @IPF_ORG & @Project39a came together at NLU Delhi to unpack this critical link — and sealed the partnership with an MoU for deeper research and reform in criminal justice. #FairTrial #DisclosureMatters

The historic resolution to establish #27November as the International Day for the Elimination of Child, Early and Forced Marriage has now been tabled before the United Nations General Assembly. When I first called for this Day at the #CSW70 in March 2026, the purpose was clear: to create a dedicated global platform that strengthens accountability and brings everyone together in unified action to protect every child, especially girls.

[Bhuwan Ribhu @Bhuwan_Ribhu]

As we await the tabling of the resolution before the United Nations General Assembly to establish #27November as the International Day for the Elimination of Child, Early and Forced Marriage, I am conscious that we are standing at the threshold of a historic moment.

The question now is not whether we know what must be done. The question is whether we will act together, with the urgency and resolve our children deserve. @un @JustRightsIndia @JustRightsIntl @worldjurist @JRCNepal @CMFreeWorld #UNGA

Nepal flash flood should not be treated merely as a flash flood disaster. It is a warning about the changing risk profile of the Himalayas. The combination of extreme weather, seismic activity,glacial instability, rapidly expanding infrastructure & settlements in narrow valleys is creating a new class of disasters.

वक्त बदला, जिम्मेदारियां बदलीं, लेकिन ख़ाकी से जुड़ी यादें और अनुभव आज भी साथ हैं। #uppolice की कमान संभाल चुके तीन पूर्व #DGP एक तस्वीर में नजर आए, तो यह सिर्फ मुलाकात नहीं बल्कि उनके अनुभव, नेतृत्व और गौरवशाली सफर का खूबसूरत फ्रेम बन गया।

A rare and historic moment for the UP Police — three distinguished former DGPs, Prakash Singh, Vikram Singh and OP Singh, together capturing a moment of legacy and
bringing decades of experience, contrasting perspectives and lessons from the field.All three have led the UP Police at different points in its journey. They have not merely witnessed the evolution of policing — they have, in different ways, helped shape it.

The arrest of top CPI (Maoist) Politburo member Misir Besra, along with a massive surge in surrenders and targeted operations, marks a decisive turning point that effectively dismantles the central structure of Left-Wing Extremism.
Kudos to the Government of India, security forces and joint intelligence teams for their unrelenting resolve in bringing peace to former Naxal strongholds and steering the nation toward a safer future!

When a person takes his own life, he relinquishes the beauty of the universe, the priceless gift of existence and the warmth of human relationships. In that irreversible moment, he loses the opportunity to experience hope, love and renewal—not because life has nothing left to offer, but because despair has convinced him that it does.
Two days ago, we lost a remarkable soul—an outstanding police officer, an affable colleague and , above all, an exceptionally upright human being who left an indelible mark wherever he served.

Anurag Dhankar was my colleague in the CISF, where he served as Inspector General (Personnel), a position that demanded not only administrative acumen but also empathy and an unwavering commitment to the welfare of the force. In an organisation of nearly two lakh personnel, he believed that the strength of the institution lay in putting its people first.

As the head of the CISF, I had the privilege of working closely with him. He was an invaluable member of my team, providing steadfast support and serving as a strong pillar of the organisation. His impeccable integrity, professional competence, sound judgment and quiet dedication inspired complete trust and admiration. His counsel was always balanced, his approach humane and his commitment to the organisation beyond question.

Anurag made my responsibilities considerably easier. He brought clarity to complex personnel issues, precision to decision-making and grace to leadership. His contribution to the CISF will be remembered, but even more enduring will be the memory of the gentle, principled and dependable person he was.

He will be deeply missed, but fondly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing and working with him. May his noble soul rest in eternal peace.

The CISF’s decision to establish a Data Fusion Centre in Delhi is a timely and strategic initiative for strengthening aviation security. Integrating real-time intelligence, surveillance and operational data into a single platform will significantly enhance threat detection, coordinated response and predictive policing. In an era of evolving security challenges, data-driven security is no longer an option—it is a necessity. A commendable step forward.

[OP Singh @OP_Singh83]

As someone who had the privilege of serving as DG CISF and working closely on aviation security, I welcome the decision to link facial recognition systems at major airports with a central data fusion centre in Delhi.

Modern aviation security is no longer about isolated checkpoints; it is about intelligent integration of technology, data analytics and real-time threat assessment. A robust fusion centre can significantly enhance the ability to identify suspects, detect patterns and respond proactively to emerging threats while ensuring smoother passenger movement.
