Good to see a focus on cyber crime with Rohit Malpani's promotion. With increasing digital fraud in India, we need specialized officers in every state. Himachal setting an example! 👍

As a resident of Solan, I hope the new SP, Mr. Varma, continues the good work on traffic management. The Kalka-Shimla highway needs strict policing, especially during tourist season. All the best to him!

The appointment for Prisons and Correctional Services is crucial. Our jails need reform and better management. Hope Mr. Chhajta brings some positive changes there. Wishing all officers success in their new roles! 🙏

Hope the transfers bring fresh energy and reduce corruption. The vigilance bureau postings are key. We need strong officers who are not afraid to act against the powerful. Jai Hind!
