Inspector General of Police Dan Bahadur Karki has deployed the AIGs from the headquarters to all seven provinces, returning only after the election is over.
Police spokesperson DIG Avinarayan Kafle informed that all the deployed AIGs are currently working in the field.

Since the AIG has the same post in the valley, the security command here has been carried out by the AIG.
The security of the three districts of the Kathmandu Valley is currently led by AIG Ishwar Karki. The DIGs are working under the leadership of the provincial police. The AIGs deployed from the center have been assigned with the role of coordinating with the DIG and all units below them, directing them to make the security action plan effective, and making additional strategies if shortcomings are found and managing operations accordingly.
