Yesterday late-night Punjab government’s home department released
a list of transfers of six top IPS officers of Punjab before giving the additional
charge of DGP to Gaurav Yadav. But, after some time the list was taken back.
Here is the reason for the same.
After DGP, the Punjab government has now changed the Special
DG Intelligence. Pramod Kumar of the 1989 batch who was the head of the
Intelligence department is now replaced. Jitendra Aulakh is now given the
charge for the same.
The speculation that is coming up is that as Intelligence
Department is the key department of our state, so the head of the same
department should be of a DG rank instead of being at a lower rank and maybe
this is the main reason why the transfer list was taken back last night.

There is also hope that the Punjab government will release
another list today which can bring a huge change in the Police department of
Punjab.
The new acting DGP, Gaurav Yadav will take up the charge in
no time soon and will do some of the changes required according to himself.
