Other notable postings include Inspector Muhammad Shahnawaz as SHO RM Bagh, PSI Amandeep Singh as SHO Chanpora, and Inspector Towseef Habib as SHO Rajbagh.
Probationary officers of the 2023 batch, who were previously holding independent SHO charges in Shergari, Khanyar, Kral Khud, and Bemina, have been directed to report at District Police Lines Srinagar as part of their practical training programme.
The reshuffle also involves internal adjustments with some officers shifted from DPL Srinagar and other wings to different police stations. Police sources said the changes have been made in the interest of administration and better policing.
The orders have been circulated to all concerned zonal SSPs, SDPOs, SHOs, and other officials for immediate compliance.
