IPS officer Reddy appointed new NHRC DG

Senior IPS officer PVK Reddy was today appointed as the new Director General (DG) in the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC).
Reddy, a 1982-batch officer of Tripura cadre, is presently working as a Special Director General in the CRPF and will have a tenure till April in the Commission.
A Home Ministry order said Reddy has been appointed as the DG (Investigation) in the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) "from the date of joining the post and up to the date of his superannuation till April 30, 2017 or until further orders, whichever is earlier."
Hearing a plea, the Supreme Court, last month had directed the Centre to fill this post within a week.

A bench headed by Chief Justice J S Khehar had also asked the central government to appoint the members of the human rights body within four weeks.
