MP IPS Transfer List Held Up Over Harda, Narmadapuram Dispute
Madhya Pradesh officials are arguing about a list of police transfers.
The disagreement is mainly about whether the police chiefs of Harda and Narmadapuram should be moved.
Farmers protesting over moong procurement began their agitation in those districts and later reached Bhopal.
The article says the Narmadapuram road was also shut.
The administration wants new officers in the two districts.
Police headquarters does not agree with moving the current superintendents of police.
The disagreement has stopped the wider transfer list from being released.
Four senior police officers also retired, creating more posts that need permanent appointments.
Disagreement between police headquarters and the administration has delayed Madhya Pradesh’s IPS transfer list.
The proposed transfers of Harda SP Shashank and Narmadapuram SP Sai Krishna Thota are at the center of the dispute.
The government is considering the changes after moong-procurement protesters from the two districts reached Bhopal.
Police headquarters has opposed shifting the two SPs, while the administration wants replacements.
Four IPS officers retired on Monday, leaving Sagar and Gwalior ranges dependent on in-charge officers.
