Jammu, June 13 : The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has empanelled six senior IPS officers of the AGMUT cadre for appointment to the rank of Director General of Police (DGP), including three officers from the erstwhile Jammu and Kashmir segment.
The officers cleared for empanelment to the coveted DGP rank are Dr. Shiv Darshan Singh Jamwal, Rajesh Kumar, Satish Shriramaji Khandare, Tsewang Namgyal Kalon, David Lalrinsanga and Rajesh Khandare.
Among them, Dr. Shiv Darshan Singh Jamwal, Rajesh Kumar and Tsewang Namgyal Kalon belong to the erstwhile Jammu and Kashmir segment of the AGMUT cadre.
Official sources said the empanelment paves the way for these officers to be considered for DGP-level appointments in various Union Territories and organisations under the AGMUT cadre. The decision follows recommendations of the competent authority and acknowledges the officers’ distinguished service records and vast experience in policing and administration.
The development is being seen as a significant milestone for officers from the J&K segment, several of whom have served in key assignments both in Jammu and Kashmir and on Central deputation. (KNC)
