In preparation for the Lok Sabha elections, the West Bengal government has implemented a large-scale reshuffle within its police force. Over 285 inspector-ranking officers and 297 sub-inspectors have been transferred to new postings. The reshuffle aims to ensure a fair and impartial environment for the elections, adhering to Election Commission guidelines.
The new appointments include Rajeev Kumar as the acting Director General of Police, following the retirement of Manoj Malviya. This reshuffle is part of broader efforts to enhance administrative efficiency and public trust during a politically sensitive period.
