Former Gujarat cadre IPS officer Vikas Sahay (IPS:1989:GJ) has been appointed as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Organising Committee for the World Police and Fire Games. These games are scheduled to be held in Ahmedabad in 2029, a year ahead of the 2030 Commonwealth Games.
The Home Department of the Gujarat government issued a notification on March 30, 2026, to this effect. According to the notification, Sahay’s appointment will come into effect from the date he assumes charge.
The government has said that the terms and conditions of the appointment will be notified separately.
This crucial responsibility has been assigned to Sahay within just three months after his retirement from the post of the DGP of the state in December 2025.
The Police Games are a mega event with thousands of police personnel, firefighters, and first responders from across the world expected to participate in them. Sahay’s appointment is being seen as a key move to prepare the city for the Commonwealth Games in 2030 with an aim to strengthen its position as a global sporting hub.
Sahay said he will ensure that these games meet global standards and showcase Ahmedabad’s capability on the world stage.
