Senior IPS officer Kanwardeep Kaur (IPS:2013:PB) has been appointed as the new SSP of Chandigarh. She is the second woman IPS officer to be posted as UT SSP after Nilambari Jagdale (IPS:2008:PB).
According to an order issued by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) on Saturday (04.03.2023), rhe Appointments Committee of the Cabinet has approved the proposal of the Ministry of Home Affairs for inter-cadre deputation of Kanwardeep Kaur from Punjab Cadre to AGMUT Cadre (Chandigarh) for a period of three years.
Chandigarh for the first time will have women police officers as SSP UT and SSP (Traffic and Security).
Presently, Manisha Chaudhary SSP (Traffic and Security) was handling the charge of SSP UT after Kuldeep Singh Chahal (IPS:2008:PB) was given marching orders in December 2022, nearly a year before his deputation was to end, following allegations of misconduct.
