The Gujarat government on Monday (August 18, 2025) carried out a major reshuffle in its police administration, transferring and promoting 74 IPS officers and 31 SPS officers in one go.
The long-pending exercise comes in the backdrop of upcoming festivals and elections in the state. Sources said the changes were implemented after Janmashtami and ahead of Ganeshotsav and Navratri, which require extensive law and order arrangements.
Additionally, the state is gearing up for municipal elections in major cities, making the reshuffle strategically significant. The transfers are seen as part of the government’s preparations to ensure effective policing during both festive and political events.
