Major Police Reshuffle Ordered in Kapurthala District
In a significant administrative move, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Gaurav Toora has mandated a comprehensive reshuffle of police personnel across Kapurthala district in Punjab. This restructuring involves the transfer of several Station House Officers (SHOs) and other officials, with immediate effect, aiming to optimize law enforcement operations and enhance public safety.
Key Transfers Impacting Phagwara Region
The reshuffle notably affects the Phagwara area, with multiple inspectors reassigned to new roles. Inspector Sonamdeep Kaur has been transferred from Sadar Phagwara to Sadar Talwandi Chaudhrian, while Inspector Anil Kumar moves in the opposite direction, from Talwandi Chaudhrian to Sadar Phagwara. In another pivotal change, Inspector Amanpreet Kaur has been appointed as the SHO for City Phagwara, following her transfer from Satnampura police station.
Inspector Usha Rani, who previously served as SHO for City Phagwara, has been reassigned to the Police Lines in Kapurthala. Additionally, Inspector Prabhjot Kaur has been moved from Sadar police station to the Police Lines, as part of the broader reorganization efforts.
Additional Postings and Transfers Across the District
Beyond Phagwara, the reshuffle includes several other important assignments. Inspector Bikramjit Singh has been posted as SHO for Bholath, transferring from Subhanpur. At the sub-inspector level, Sub-Inspector Gurnam Singh has been appointed as SHO for Satnampura from the Police Lines, while Sub-Inspector Ranjit Singh shifts from Bholath to Sadar Kapurthala.
Other sub-inspector transfers involve Sub-Inspector Harjinder Singh, who moves to SHO Subhanpur from Begowal, and Sub-Inspector Kirpal Singh, assigned as SHO Begowal from the Police Lines. Furthermore, Sub-Inspector Jasbir Singh has been given additional responsibilities, including in-charge of the EO Wing in Kapurthala and oversight of the RTI Branch.
Outpost-Level Changes and Immediate Implementation
The reshuffle extends to outpost-level personnel, with several Assistant Sub-Inspectors (ASIs) reassigned. ASI Amarjit Singh has been appointed in-charge of the Kala Sanghian outpost, while ASI Pal Singh shifts from Kala Sanghian to Hussainpur. ASI Davinderpal transfers from Hussainpur to the Police Lines, and ASI Puran Chand moves from Mothanwal outpost to the Police Lines.
