UP to get permanent DGP after 4 years; Rajiv Krishna strongest contender
•Uttar Pradesh is set to appoint a permanent Director General of Police (DGP) after a four-year reliance on acting officers.
•The Yogi government has initiated the process, sending a panel of officers' names to the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC).
•Current acting DGP, Rajiv Krishna, is considered the strongest contender due to his experience, unblemished career, and trust from CM Yogi Adityanath.
•UPSC will return a panel of three names based on seniority and service record, from which the Chief Minister will make the final selection.
•Rajiv Krishna's extensive experience in various UP districts, including STF, and his family's influential background further strengthen his claim.
