Vivekananda Sinha
Vivekananda Sinha (born 16 january 1972) is an Indian Police Service Officer ,

The restive Bastar region of Chhattisgarh, which has seen a rise in Maoist insurgency, on Saturday got a full-time police chief with the appointment of senior IPS officer Mr. Vivekananda Sinha as the Inspector General of Police of the Bastar range.

The post of Bastar IG has been vacant after controversial former Bastar IG Shiv Ram Prasad Kalluri was shifted out in February.

The Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG), Dantewada range P. Sundar Raj was given an additional charge of Bastar range. However, the killing of 12 CRPF men in Sukma district last month fuelled the demand for a full-time IG in the region.

An IPS officer of 1996 batch, Mr. Sinha is currently posted as IG Bilaspur range.
