In a major shake up, the Chandigarh Police administration on Tuesday announced the transfer of 2,763 police personnel, including sub-inspectors (SI), assistant sub-Inspectors (ASI), head constables (HC), and constables (C).
This reshuffle, approved by the Police Establishment Board (PEB), aims to enhance efficiency and effectiveness of the police force.

The PEB, which oversees the administration and functioning of the police force, sanctioned the transfers to address administrative and operational requirements in different departments. The transferred personnel are expected to take up their new positions with immediate effect.
The transfer orders were issued by superintendent of police, PEB, Ketan Bansal.
