Inspector General of Police (IGP) Dan Bahadur Karki has summoned the Deputy Inspectors General (DIGs) from all seven provinces to Police Headquarters in Kathmandu ahead of a Police Coordination Committee (PCC) meeting scheduled for 2 pm. The reason for calling the provincial police chiefs has not been disclosed.
Provincial DIGs Called to Police Headquarters
The provincial DIGs were summoned in connection with the PCC meeting, bringing representatives from all seven provinces to the national police headquarters. The meeting is scheduled to begin at 2 pm, according to the information provided about the gathering.
Karki’s decision to include the provincial DIGs has drawn attention because PCC meetings are normally attended by police officials ranked above DIG. The provincial officers were nevertheless called to Kathmandu for this meeting. No official explanation has been given for their inclusion, and it remains unclear whether their presence is linked to a particular item on the committee’s agenda.
The available information does not identify the individual DIGs or provide further details about arrangements for their attendance. It also does not state whether they were asked to prepare reports or provide updates from their respective provinces.
PCC Meeting and Unstated Reason for the Summons
The summons is connected to the Police Coordination Committee meeting, but the purpose of calling the provincial DIGs has not been made public. No specific policy decision, operational issue or provincial matter has been identified as the reason for the request. Until the police headquarters or the committee provides further information, the basis for the expanded attendance remains undisclosed.
The usual attendance practice is a key part of the context. PCC meetings normally involve police officials above the DIG rank, while this time the provincial DIGs have also been called. The information available does not clarify whether this is a one-off arrangement or whether it reflects a change to the committee’s usual participation.
The meeting’s scheduled start time is 2 pm. No further details have been provided about the discussions expected at the meeting, decisions taken or any statements made by the IGP or provincial officials. The central development is therefore the summons itself: Karki has called the DIGs from all seven provinces to Police Headquarters in Kathmandu for a PCC meeting, without publicly explaining the reason for their participation.
