Delhi Police Restructures Anti-Terror Unit, Appoints Four DCPs
The Delhi Police is changing how its anti-terror unit works.
They've assigned four high-ranking officers, called DCPs, to different areas of the unit.
These DCPs will now be in charge of specific parts of the Special Cell, which fights terrorism and crime.
Before this, the unit had a different structure with other officers in charge.
This change aims to bring new perspectives and management to the unit's operations.
The Special Cell is also currently without a full-time leader.
