In a significant administrative move, the Punjab government led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has transferred eight officers of Deputy Inspector General (DIG) rank across the state. The decision is part of an ongoing effort to enhance law enforcement efficiency and ensure better policing across key regions of Punjab.
According to a notification issued by the Punjab Home Department, the transfers are aimed at aligning officer roles with current field requirements and public safety demands. The reshuffle comes at a time when the state is tightening its stance on drug trafficking, organized crime, and inter-district coordination.
Focus on Improved Law & Order
Sources within the administration stated that each transferred officer has been reassigned to critical zones where their experience and leadership are expected to yield stronger results. The Mann government has consistently emphasized accountability and public service delivery in policing, and this transfer is said to reflect that commitment.
Officials also mentioned that such changes are being carried out after performance reviews and security assessments from the state intelligence and law enforcement agencies.
More Transfers Expected Soon
This move is being seen as part of a larger restructuring drive, with more senior-level reshuffles expected in the coming weeks. With increased focus on curbing gang activity, drug networks, and enhancing rural policing, CM Bhagwant Mann has directed the Punjab Police to adopt a zero-tolerance policy against crime and corruption.
Further details, including the names and new postings of the DIGs, are expected to be uploaded soon on the Punjab Police’s official website.
