The 1997 batch IPS officer of AGMUT cadre, Mr Surendra Singh Yadav will be the new DGP of Chandigarh. The incumbent DGP Praveer Ranjan, an IPS officer of 1993 batch of AGMUT cadre, is going to be relieved soon.

Before Mr Yadav, the name of Mr Madhup Kumar Tiwari, a 1995 batch IPS officer, was being discussed. But finally the name of Mr Yadav who was posted in Delhi, has been approved.

Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India has issued an order appointing of Mr Yadav. In the orders, MHA said, “In modification of MHA’s order of the same number dated February 9, Surendra Singh Yadav is hereby transferred from Delhi and posted as DGP, Chandigarh. Additionally, the transfer/ posting of Madhup Kumar Tiwari is hereby cancelled with immediate effect and until further orders.”

Sources said that the MHA also revoked the February 9 orders, according to which Yadav was posted as DGP of Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The exact reasons behind this development are yet to be disclosed.

MHA had transferred Praveer Ranjan, a 1993-batch AGMUT cadre IPS officer, to the position of Additional Director General in the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) on February 9.

Mr Yadav is currently stationed in Delhi as Special CP Traffic (Zone-2) with an additional charge of MD, Delhi Police Housing Corporation (DPHC) Ltd.

He has served in various capacities in the Delhi Police and is recognised for several initiatives for the welfare of police officers. He hails from Rajasthan.

Interestingly, the new DGP is senior to Home Secretary (HS) Nitin Yadav, a 2000-batch Haryana cadre IAS officer batch wise. This chronological hierarchy came to light when Nitin Yadav was given the officiating charge of adviser to the UT administrator last year.
