The Centre has promoted Vijay Raman, a senior Indian Police Service officer as a special director general of Central Reserve Police Force to exclusively handle the left-wing extremism challenging the country.
The home ministry sources said he will be posted in Raipur. His brief is to coordinate with the police chiefs of the seven Maoist-infested states and plan strategies to mount attacks on the extremists.
He has been empowered to liaise with the three armed forces and given the command to call them at any point of time. He will directly report to Home Minister P Chidambaram and
