    The Assam police had assigned both of the state's top cops to help the Manipur government look into the cases related to the unrest in the state.


    Digital Desk: Anand Mishra (Assam-Meghalaya Cadre, 2011 RR Batch), an
    Indian Police Service (IPS) officer currently serving as the Superintendent of
    Police in Lakhimpur, made a significant declaration today announcing his
    unconditional resignation from the IPS, effective January 16, 2024.

    the IPS to pursue a life of freedom and independence that I want to realize
    through various social services and other means that are beyond the mandate of
    IPS," SP Mishra stated in a letter to the chief secretary.

    Previously, as per a governor's notification, the Government of Manipur was able to immediately assign Superintendent of Police, Lakhimpur, IPS Anand Mishra (RR-2011), and Superintendent of Police (Border-II), APS Randeep Kumar Baruah (DR-1993), to lead the SITs established for Manipur incidents.
