Aiming to inject fresh operational vigor into field policing and strengthen administrative oversight, the Chhattisgarh government has carried out a significant restructuring within its police ranks. An official directive released by the Home Police Department from Nava Raipur, Atal Nagar confirmed the transfers and fresh postings of 18 Indian Police Service officers. A distinctive facet of this shuffle is the strategic elevation of young personnel commissioned between the 2021 and 2024 batches to oversee frontline security grids and city divisions.
Headquarters Reassignments for the 2021 Batch Cadre
The state administrative apparatus has channeled multiple junior officers into key roles at the state police headquarters. Among the 2021 batch appointees, Jha Amankumar Ramankumar departs from his assignment in Bijapur to assume charge as Superintendent of Police at Nava Raipur headquarters. Concurrently, Ajay Kumar has been shifted from Narayanpur to serve as Superintendent of Police within the Special Intelligence Bureau, known as SIB. From Bhanupratappur in Kanker district, Aakash Shrimal moves to police headquarters as Assistant Inspector General of Police. Furthermore, Akshay Pramod Sabadra and Akash Kumar Shukla have both been inducted into the headquarters structure as AIGs to manage institutional workflows.
Frontline Operations Bolstered Across the Bastar Division
To sharpen security initiatives and tactical responses across sensitive pockets of the Bastar division, four officers have been dispatched to handle ground duties as Additional Superintendent of Police (Operations). Ishu Agrawal takes over operational duties in Narayanpur, while Mayank Mishra has been designated to Sukma. For Jagdalpur, the administration selected Vaishali Jain to lead operations, and Rahul Bansal has been assigned to Bijapur. These appointments concentrate active operational coordination in areas facing persistent security and anti-Maoist tactical requirements.
Independent Urban Commands for 2023 and 2024 Trainees
The administrative shake-up also integrates fresh talent emerging from rigorous foundational training. Probationary and newly graduated officers from the 2023 and 2024 batches received their debut independent field roles as City Superintendents of Police, or CSPs. This group encompasses Sakore Manasi Nanabhau, Aditya Kumar, and Prateek Bansode, each tasked with directing subdivisions in urban hubs. By placing new officers in direct command of town policing alongside reinforcing counter-insurgency grids, the administration intends to intensify general crime deterrence and sharpen strategic initiatives in remote sectors.
