Administrative changes in Chhattisgarh Police; Nivedita Pal in-charge SP of Janjgir-Champa

IPS officer Nivedita Pal appointed in-charge SP of Janjgir-Champa. Administrative changes in four districts as regular SPs undergo NPA training.

"ensures that there is no vacuum in command in any of the affected districts - Senior Officials"

Raipur, April 3

The Chhattisgarh Police Department has issued an amended order, entrusting the command of Janjgir-Champa district to Nivedita Pal, Commandant of the 6th Battalion, who has now been appointed as Officer-in-Charge of the district.

The amendment modifies the previous order that had assigned the additional charge of Janjgir-Champa to Vimal Kumar Bais.

The fresh directive was issued by the Director General of Police (DGP), keeping in view departmental requirements and the need to maintain administrative balance. This change comes as the regular Superintendent of Police of Janjgir-Champa, Vijay Pandey, has been deputed for a 45-day training programme at the National Police Academy (NPA), Hyderabad.

The training is scheduled to commence on April 6 and conclude on May 15. To ensure smooth maintenance of law and order during the absence of regular SPs, the state has made alternative arrangements in four districts.

Manisha Thakur Rawate has been given charge of Raipur Rural, Trilok Bansal has been assigned as In-charge SP of Kondagaon, and Neeraj Chandrakar has been given the responsibility of Gariaband district.

Nivedita Pal, an experienced IPS officer currently serving as Commandant of the 6th Battalion, brings considerable field and administrative expertise to the sensitive Janjgir-Champa district. These simultaneous changes reflect the Chhattisgarh Police leadership's proactive approach to balancing the training requirements of senior officers with the uninterrupted functioning of district police administration.

Senior officials stated that such periodic deputations for specialised training at the prestigious NPA are essential for upgrading the skills of police leadership in modern policing, cybercrime, intelligence gathering, and community-oriented law enforcement.

The amended order ensures that there is no vacuum in command in any of the affected districts. All newly assigned officers have been directed to take immediate charge and maintain close coordination with the district administration for effective policing.

This reshuffle is part of routine administrative exercises carried out by the DGP's office to strengthen the police force while providing professional development opportunities to its officers.

It's a positive step to send officers for training at the NPA. Policing needs to evolve with technology and community needs. Hope this brings fresh ideas to Chhattisgarh.

Administrative reshuffles are necessary, but I hope the constant change doesn't disrupt ongoing investigations or community policing efforts in these districts. Stability is also key.

As someone who has lived in Raipur, it's reassuring to see a planned approach. Manisha Thakur Rawate taking charge of Raipur Rural is a good move. Hope law and order remains smooth.

The article mentions "proactive approach" but these changes seem reactive, triggered by a training schedule. Would like to see more long-term planning in police postings, not just filling temporary gaps.

More power to the women officers! 👏 Nivedita Pal and Manisha Thakur Rawate in key posts is great to see. Their experience will surely benefit the districts.
