KOLKATA: Following instructions from the Election Commission, the West Bengal government has decided to transfer police officers who have been in their posts for three years or more. A state secretariat official said on Thursday that a formal notification in this regard is likely to be issued soon.
This directive will apply to those who are serving in their home district or have been in the same position for an extended period. This directive has already been sent to all senior police officers, an official said.
According to the Election Commission's guidelines of December 21, 2023, and December 23, 2008, police officers of the rank of Sub-Inspector who fall under the specified criteria must be transferred.
