Last month, the IGP, while addressing first press conference since his appointment, reportedly gave the signal that he would not make reshuffle in the Punjab police.

He had also said that two positive developments were the government’s decision to sanction more police patrolling vehicles which will now be “immediately new” and the recruitment of officers.

“Our people continue to retire and we are low on officers routinely. So we seek to fill our sanctioned strength and it will soon be replenished."
