CRPF ADG Ravideep Singh Sahi retires after 40 years service

Ravideep Singh Sahi, a 1986 CRPF officer, has announced his retirement after an illustrious 40-year career. Throughout his service, Sahi has been stationed in some of India's most challenging regions, including Jammu and Kashmir, Chhattisgarh, and the North-East. One of his most significant accomplishments was his two-year tenure as Inspector General of the Srinagar Sector from 2016 to 2020, where he played a pivotal role in anti-terror operations and maintaining public order during the volatile period following the revocation of Article 370.

Prior to this, Sahi made notable contributions to strengthening the security of the Parliament House Complex following the 2001 attack and pioneered the Counter-Insurgency and Anti-Terrorist training course in 1993, which later became a nationwide initiative. As the head of the CRPF's Communication and IT department during the COVID-19 pandemic, Sahi spearheaded the digital transformation of the force, implementing e-Office systems and video conferencing facilities.

At his current post as Additional Director General of the CRPF's Southern Zone, Sahi has been instrumental in combating Naxal activities along the Telangana-Chhattisgarh and Gadchiroli-Chhattisgarh borders. For his exemplary service, Sahi has been honored with the Police Medal for Gallantry, President's Police Medal for Distinguished Service, and Police Medal for Meritorious Service.
