The Punjab government has officially appointed Gurpreet Singh Bhullar as the Inspector General of Police for the Amritsar Border Range. The swearing‑in ceremony was held at the headquarters of the range, where the new IG took the oath and received the charge from his predecessor.
As IG, Bhullar will supervise a network of police stations that monitor the sensitive border stretch between India and Pakistan, coordinate anti‑smuggling operations, and manage law‑enforcement response to any cross‑border incidents.
