Three officers of the State Police Service have been promoted from DIG to IG. These three officers belong to the 2004 batch, who were given the benefit of one year seniority on the basis of their length of service by the Department of Personnel and Training of the Centre.

In a major decision in state’s bureaucracy, Uttar Pradesh government has issued order of promotion of 17 PCS officers and 3 IPS officers. 17 PCS officers have been promoted to the Indian Administrative Service (IAS). While 3 IPS officer have become IG from DIG. The Central Personnel and Training Department has issued an order in this regard.

Among those who got promoted are Ashutosh Mohan Agnihotri, Kamta Prasad Singh, Ram Sahai Yadav, Atul Singh, Ram Singh Verma, Manjuta, Dr. Alka Verma, Santosh Kumar, Sunil Kumar Singh, Chitralekha Singh, Satish Pal, Madan Singh Garbyal, Bipin Kumar Mishra. , Rekha S Chauhan, Anil Kumar Singh, Reena Singh and Ratnesh Singh.

The Union Public Service Commission had done DPC in October for promotion from PCS to IAS. In this, the names of 23 officers were considered, out of which orders have been issued in respect of 17. As the remaining officers were caught in some sort of investigation or the other, no order was issued in their case.

The officers who have got the benefit of one year seniority include Ram Lal Verma posted in PAC Sector Kanpur, Dr. Poonam Srivastava posted in Bhimrao Police Academy Moradabad and Anil Kumar posted in Ayodhya PAC Sector. These officers were earlier allotted the 2005 batch, which has now been changed to 2004. Now these officers have been promoted to the post of IG from January 1, 2022.

In fact, due to joining the service long after Poonam Srivastava was selected, the rest of the officers were not getting the benefit of seniority. For this, the concerned officers had moved the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT), from where a direction was issued to give the benefit of one year seniority to these officers.
