In a recent development, Sumer Pratap Singh, an IPS officer from Haryana of the 2012 batch, has been appointed as the new Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) (Traffic & Security) in Chandigarh Police. The decision was approved by the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet, following a proposal by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs for Singh’s inter-cadre deputation to the AGMUT cadre.
The post of SSP (Traffic and Security) had been vacant since November 30 last year, after the departure of the previous SSP, Manisha Chaudhary (IPS:2011:HY). Subsequently, the administration temporarily assigned the additional responsibility of SSP Traffic to Chandigarh Police SSP Kanwardeep Kaur (IPS:2013:PB) before the official appointment of Sumer Pratap Singh. Singh, who was serving as the Deputy Commissioner of Police in Panchkula, overseeing the operations of the police headquarters, economic offenses wing, and all police stations within the district, will now assume the crucial role in Chandigarh.
