While reshuffles are routine, doing it late at night raises questions. Is this for administrative efficiency or political messaging? Hope stability is maintained in the police force.

Interesting to see Satyendra Kumar moving to RITI, an IAS-level post. Shows cross-departmental mobility. Focus on ATS and Anti-Narcotics is crucial given current challenges.

As a citizen, all I want is better police response time and less corruption at the thana level. Hope these senior-level changes trickle down to the constable on the street.

Appointing Preeti Chandra as IG, Law and Order is a positive step. Need more women in key policing roles. They often bring a different, more empathetic perspective to public service.
