Indian Masterminds Stories

Bhopal: In a recent leadership transition within the Indian Police Service (IPS) community in Madhya Pradesh, Additional Director General of Police (Special Armed Forces), Chanchal Shekhar, an IPS officer of 1995 batch, has been elected as the new President of the Madhya Pradesh IPS Association. The formal handover took place on Thursday, as outgoing President Ravi Kumar Gupta passed on the mantle following the completion of his two-year tenure.

The election, held to appoint a new President and Executive Committee, saw Shekhar emerge as the unanimous choice, reflecting his strong reputation as both a skilled police officer and an efficient administrator. Gupta congratulated Shekhar by presenting him with a flower bouquet, symbolizing a cordial and smooth transition of leadership.

New Executive Members Announced

Alongside the presidential change, the association also announced the election of four new executive members

  • Monica Shukla, Deputy Inspector General of Police, Railway
  • Rahul Lodha, Superintendent of Police, Railway
  • Akhil Patel, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Crime Branch, Bhopal
  • Amit Singh, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Indore

The newly elected members received warm congratulations from several senior officers, including 7th Battalion Commandant Hitesh Chaudhary, IG Gwalior Arvind Saxena, DCP Riyaz Iqbal, and Yangchen Dolkar Bhutia, among others.

Focus Turns to Long-Standing IPS Concerns

With a new leadership team in place, the IPS Association is preparing to engage with the state government on several unresolved issues. At the forefront is the long-standing controversy regarding IAS officers writing confidential character reports of IPS officers – an issue that has sparked repeated debate over administrative fairness and independence.

According to sources within the association, President Chanchal Shekhar is expected to lead a delegation to meet the Chief Secretary of Madhya Pradesh in the coming days. The goal is to reopen discussions and seek a resolution to multiple pending demands that have remained in limbo despite years of dialogue.

A New Chapter for IPS Representation

With Chanchal Shekhar at the helm, the Madhya Pradesh IPS Association enters a new phase, aiming to enhance dialogue with the state government, promote administrative reforms, and strengthen the voice of the IPS community. Known for his policing acumen and administrative insight, Shekhar’s leadership is expected to reinvigorate the association’s agenda and advocacy efforts.
