Chandigarh: In a key development in the Haryana Police hierarchy, two senior Indian Police Service (IPS) officers of the 1993 batch — Alok Mittal and Dr. Ashindra Singh Chawla — are set to be promoted to the prestigious rank of Director General of Police (DGP).
The Departmental Promotion Committee (DPC) has formally cleared their promotion. The proposal will now be forwarded to Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini through the Home Secretary for final approval.

Total DG-Rank Officers in Haryana to Rise to Seven
Following the promotions, Haryana will have seven officers at the DGP level.
The current DGP-rank officers serving in the state include:
- Mohammad Akol
- Shatrujeet Singh Kapoor
- Sanjeev Kumar
- O.P. Singh
- Ajay Singhal
The addition of Alok Mittal and Dr. Chawla will significantly strengthen the state’s senior police leadership, especially at a time when administrative efficiency and law enforcement effectiveness are key governance priorities.
Promotion Follows National Trend Among 1993-Batch IPS Officers
According to sources, most 1993-batch IPS officers across the country have already been promoted to the DGP rank, and Haryana’s process is now nearing completion.
This promotion not only reflects the officers’ seniority but also their professional contributions to policing and public service.
