A major administrative reshuffle has been carried out in the Delhi Police, involving senior IPS officers at the Director General level along with a significant reorganization of twenty officers from the DANIPS cadre.
As part of the changes, Virender Singh (IPS: 1991: AGMUT cadre), who was serving as Director General, Civil Defence (Delhi), has been appointed as Director General, Home Guards (Delhi).
Two senior officers who recently returned to the Delhi administration have also been assigned key leadership roles. Anand Mohan (IPS: 1994: AGMUT cadre) has been posted as Director General (Prisons). In this capacity, he will oversee the prison complexes at Tihar Jail, Rohini Jail, and Mandoli Jail. The position had remained vacant since the end of January.
Meanwhile, Surendra Singh Yadav (IPS: 1997: AGMUT cadre) has been appointed as Director General, Civil Defence. Yadav recently returned to the cadre after a premature repatriation from central deputation at the Border Security Force (BSF).
The reshuffle also extended to the DANIPS (Delhi, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Lakshadweep, Daman and Diu and Dadra and Nagar Haveli Police Service) cadre. Around twenty officers from the 2009 to 2016 batches, currently serving as Deputy Commissioners of Police (DCPs) and Additional DCPs, have been assigned new responsibilities.
The mid-level restructuring is aimed at strengthening district policing, improving the functioning of specialized units, and streamlining administrative operations across the Delhi Police setup.
