Interesting to see Preeta Verma ji moving to the Building Construction Corp. Is this a promotion or a sidelining? And ADG CID moved to Liquor Prohibition? That's a huge shift in responsibility. Wondering about the strategy behind these specific postings.

As a resident of Muzaffarpur, I welcome the new SSP. The previous law and order situation was not great. Hope Kantesh Kumar Mishra ji can make a positive impact. These transfers mean nothing if we don't feel safer in our mohallas.

Appointing an IG specifically for Cyber Crime is a very positive and necessary step. With so much digital fraud happening, Bihar needs a dedicated focus on this. Hope Ranjeet Kumar Mishra has the technical expertise required.

Transfer before elections is a common tactic. Let's be honest, this is more about administrative control than sudden efficiency. I respect the officers, but the timing is everything. Hope the new postings are based on merit.

Good to see a woman IPS officer getting a DG posting. More power to Preeta Verma ma'am! 🙌 The real challenge for all these officers will be cutting through the bureaucratic red tape and political interference to actually do their job.
