Two senior IPS officers of 1993 batch of the Haryana cadre — Alok Mittal and Dr. Ashindra Singh Chawla — have been promoted to the rank of Director General of Police (DGP). With their promotion, the total number of DGP-rank officers in Haryana has risen to seven.

ADGP Alok Mittal is presently heading the State Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB), while ADGP Arshinder Singh Chawla is serving as the Director of the Haryana Police Academy (HPA) at Madhuban, Karnal.

The DGP-rank officers currently serving in the state include Mohammad Akol, Shatrujeet Singh Kapoor, Sanjeev Kumar, O.P. Singh, and Ajay Singhal.

According to officials, the DPC had approved the promotion file in October and forwarded it to Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini for final concurrence. The state government has now cleared the file, paving the way for the promotions.
