In a major development, the promotion of 21 officers from the Uttar Pradesh Provincial Police Service (PPS) to the Indian Police Service (IPS) has been approved.
The decision was taken during a Departmental Promotion Committee (DPC) meeting held at the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC), where the names of eligible officers from the 1996, 1997, and 1998 batches were reviewed.
According to informed sources, the committee reached a consensus on the promotion of 21 officers. However, the names of four officers — Shailendra Kumar Srivastava, Virendra Kumar, Suresh Chandra Rawat, and Kamal Kishore — were not considered during the meeting.
