Jaipur, Oct 22 (PTI) Senior IPS officer Sachin Mittal was on Wednesday appointed as the new Commissioner of Jaipur amid a major administrative reshuffle in Rajasthan.
The Rajasthan government on Wednesday issued transfer orders of 34 IPS officers, including key Director General (DG)-rank reshuffles.
According to an official order, Mittal, a 1996-batch IPS officer, has replaced Biju George Joseph who took the charge in August 2023.
Mittal was earlier ADG (Personnel) of police department at the headquarters here.
Joseph, a 1995-batch IPS officer, has been appointed as ADG (Personnel).
Meanwhile, Sanjay Agarwal has been transferred from the post of DG (Intelligence) to DG (Law and Order). Agarwal, a 1992-batch officer, was earlier seen as a frontrunner for the DGP’s post but continued to serve as DG (Intelligence) until now.
Vishal Bansal, who was serving as ADG (Law and Order), has been named ADG (SOG), while Govind Gupta, a 1993-batch IPS officer, has been appointed DG (Anti-Corruption Bureau).
