JAMMU, June 13: The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has empanelled six senior IPS officers of the AGMUT cadre for appointment to the rank of Director General of Police (DGP), including three officers from the erstwhile Jammu and Kashmir segment.
The officers cleared for empanelment are Dr. Shiv Darshan Singh Jamwal, Rajesh Kumar, Satish Shriramaji Khandare, Tsewang Namgyal Kalon, David Lalrinsanga and Rajesh Khandare.
Among those empanelled, Dr. Shiv Darshan Singh Jamwal, Rajesh Kumar and Tsewang Namgyal Kalon belong to the erstwhile Jammu and Kashmir segment of the AGMUT cadre.
Official sources said the empanelment makes the officers eligible for consideration for DGP-level appointments in various Union Territories and organisations under the AGMUT cadre.
The decision follows the recommendations of the competent authority and reflects recognition of the officers’ distinguished service records and extensive experience in policing and administration.
The development is being viewed as a significant achievement for the J&K segment of the cadre, with several of the empanelled officers having served in key positions in Jammu and Kashmir as well as on Central deputation.
