Police career
Singh was the first trained gazetted officer from the Police Training School,Phillaur,and was posted as the Superintendent of Police in the Chamba state. He reorganised the police force according to the Punjab Police Rules. Later,he became the Home Member and the Deputy Inspector General of Police of the Chamba state - a post he continued to hold during the merger of the Chamba state with the newly-created province of Himachal Pradesh (on 15 April 1948).[4]
On 10 July 1967,he was one of the few MLAs to move a Motion of No-Confidence against the Y.S. Parmar-led Congress government. This motion was forwarded on account of alleged discrimination against constituencies that sent non-Congress MLAs to the Vidhan Sabha,deteriorating food security and worsening the condition of manual farmers and workers in the state,among other reasons. The motion was defeated.[7]
