Promotions are good, but will this actually improve policing on the ground? We need officers who are accessible to the common people, not just moving files in Chandigarh. I hope the focus on Human Rights and Public Grievances is genuine.

Good to see many officers getting their due promotions. The 1994 batch officers getting key posts shows experience is valued. Hope this stability translates into better law and order for Punjab. Jai Hind!

Interesting to see such a large-scale administrative move. Placing an officer at the disposal of the Vigilance Bureau signals a focus on anti-corruption. Hope it's effective.

With all due respect, these reshuffles often feel like musical chairs. The real test is whether crime rates go down in Khanna, Bathinda, and Faridkot. The public wants results, not just transfer orders.

It's encouraging to see women officers like Jyoti Yadav and Amneet Kondal getting important postings and promotions. Representation matters! Hope they get the full support of their teams.
