Good to see Arshinder Singh Chawla ji getting the Vigilance Bureau charge. Corruption is a major issue in our state. We need strong officers who are not afraid to act against the powerful. All the best to him! 🙏

The additional charges being given out show there might be a shortage of senior officers? Or is it just administrative reshuffling? Dr. C.S. Rao now has Home Guards AND Human Rights. Both are important departments, hope he can manage effectively.

As someone living in Panchkula, I welcome the focus on the Commissioner's post. Traffic and local law and order need constant attention. Hope Alok Mittal sir's additional charge brings some positive changes here.

Respectfully, I have to say these postings often feel like musical chairs. The real test is performance on the ground - reducing crime, faster response, and police behaving respectfully with common public. The ceremonial guard of honour is fine, but we need results.

Human Rights & Litigation is a critical wing. Glad it's being handled by a senior officer. Often, police excesses go unchecked. Hope under the new DGP, there is more accountability and transparency in the force.
