The police administration has transferred 48 Deputy Superintendents of Police to the Special Operations Group, Crime Investigation Department and various armed police units throughout Jammu and Kashmir.
The Jammu and Kashmir police hierarchy announced that 48 Deputy Superintendents of Police (DSPs) have been posted to key operational formations, including the Special Operations Group (SOG), the Crime Investigation Department (CID) and several armed police units. The reshuffle is intended to reinforce the state's security apparatus ahead of the upcoming summer season, when the region typically experiences heightened law‑and‑order challenges. Officials said the DSPs will assume command and supervisory roles, bringing senior leadership to units that handle counter‑insurgency, serious crime investigations and crowd‑control duties. The postings were communicated through an official circular issued by the Department of Home Affairs, and the officers are expected to report to their new assignments within the next few days. The move reflects the administration's ongoing effort to maintain stability and improve operational coordination across the diverse terrain of Jammu and Kashmir.
