Power Couples in Haryana and Punjab Bureaucracy

In Haryana and Punjab, many officers from the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) and Indian Police Service (IPS) are married to each other.

There are at least 66 such couples.

Some officers have even changed their work locations to be with their spouses.

This is allowed by the rules, but it has led to discussions about how it affects the way the government works.

Some couples are very senior and hold important positions, while others are younger and have recently moved to be together.

This trend is seen in both Haryana and Punjab, with examples of couples working in the same districts or departments.
