West Bengal Transfers 10 SPs and Appoints New AMC Commissioner
The West Bengal government has made some big changes in the police and city management.
They moved 10 police superintendents to new places because they had been in their old jobs for three years, which is the maximum allowed.
Some of these officers were swapped between neighboring districts.
The government also appointed a new person to be in charge of the Asansol Municipal Corporation, which is the second largest city organization in the state.
This is to make sure both the city and the development authority get the attention they need.
These changes are happening because there will be elections soon, and the government wants to make sure everything is running smoothly.
Additionally, a police officer in Bolpur was moved to a new job after saying he was being threatened by a local political leader.
West Bengal government transferred 10 SPs and appointed a new Commissioner for Asansol Municipal Corporation.
Transfers due to completion of three-year tenure as per EC norms and election-related preparations.
Affected districts include Alipurduar, Jalpaiguri, Malda, and others, with East Medinipur seeing major reshuffles.
Ekam J. Singh appointed as the new Commissioner of Asansol Municipal Corporation, replacing Aditi Choudhury.
