Indianmandarins has reliably learnt the President Secretariat has picked up Robin Hibu (IPS:1993:UT) as Joint Commissioner. With this, Hibu has become the first IGP rank IPS officer from a Northeastern state to serve the President. Though former charismatic President of India, Dr Abdul Kalam, had once invited Hibu to join Prez's Secretariat during his visit to Tawang (Arunachal Pradesh) where Hibu served as SP, the latter somehow missed the opportunity. Hibu, who hails from Arunachal Pradesh, handled the problems of Northeast residents in Delhi as an additional responsibility as he served as a Joint Commissioner of Police, Crime Against Women (Jt CP, CAW) and Jt. CP, IGI Airport. He earned a name for himself for his dedicated service as the Nodal Officer of Delhi Police for people from the NE region living in Delhi. Prior to his Raisina Hill assignment, Hibu was posted at Delhi Police HQ as a Jt Commissioner of Police.
