The Chandigarh Administration has forwarded a panel of names for the post of UT senior superintendent of police (SSP) to the ministry of home affairs for its approval.
The administration has recommended the name of IPS officer Vivek Sheel Soni (IPS:2011:PB) for the post, as per sources. Soni is currently senior superintendent of police, Ludhiana rural.
The other two names on the panel include Kuldeep Singh Chahal (IPS:2009:PB) and Patil Ketan Baliram (IPS:2010:PB).
Punjab government in June had sent a panel of three Punjab-cadre IPS officers to the UT Administration. The post of UT SSP is reserved for Punjab cadre IPS officers.
