The Telangana Government has promoted three IPS officer to the rank of Director General (DG). According to the recent order, the officers are CV Anand, Jitender and Rajeev Ratan.
A 1991 batch IPS officer CV Anand is currently the Commissioner of Police of Hyderabad. While, Jitender, who is of the same batch, is the Principal Secretary of the Home Department and Rajeev Ratan is the Managing Director of the Police Housing Corporation. Mr. Ratan is a 1992 batch IPS officer.
The promotions come at a time when there are three vacant DG posts in the State as DGs of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), Intelligence and Security Wing (ISW) and Railways had retired recently. The government has decided to give the status of DG to three IPS officers to fill the vacant posts and they will be taking charge of their new positions shortly. However, this is a temporary measure and soon an open selection process will be conducted to fill the posts on a permanent basis.
