KATHMANDU, NOVEMBER 13
Newly appointed Inspector General of Police (IGP) Dan Bahadur Karki has pledged to fulfill the aspirations of both the government and the public by leading the police organization with integrity, competence, and high morale.
Speaking briefly to the media after receiving the IGP insignia during a special ceremony at the Ministry of Home Affairs today, IGP Karki vowed to promote strong leadership and teamwork within the police force.
"It is the shared responsibility of the government and the police institution to build a highly motivated force with integrity and competency, in line with evolving crime patterns, security challenges, rapid advancements in information technology, and public expectations for good governance," Karki stated.
Recalling the security challenges following the recent 'Gen Z Movement,' he noted that the police ensured there was no security vacuum and were swiftly mobilized in service of the citizens. The prompt restoration of police structures and services, he added, reflects the dedication and effectiveness of the institution.
Expressing gratitude to the government for entrusting him with the leadership of the Nepal Police, IGP Karki said he was proud to assume the role after 28 years of service in the organization.
Home Secretary Rameshwor Dangal formally presented the insignia to IGP Karki, who succeeds Chandra Kuber Khapung, following his retirement after 30 years of service. Karki was appointed IGP as the senior-most officer in the institution.
The ceremony was also attended by Chief of the National Investigation Department Tekendra Karki, Additional Inspectors General of Police, and senior officials from the Home Ministry.
