The Jammu & Kashmir administration on Friday transferred 25 senior police officers, days after a major administrative reshuffle.
The transfers come ahead of the summer that usually sees a spike in militant activities. Some of the important districts of Kashmir --Srinagar, Baramulla, Kupwara, Anantnag, Budgam, and Ganderbal -- now have new police chiefs.
Among those transferred are Rayees Mohammad Bhat (IPS) who will take over as SSP, Baramulla, and Vinod Kumar as SSP, Poonch. SSP, Anantnag, Sandeep Choudhary has been shifted to Srinagar as SSP.
Rajouri SSP Chandan Kohli has been posted as SSP, Jammu. Dr GV Sundeep Chakravarthy, SP, Handwara has been posted as SP, Kupwara, which is also one of the sensitive districts.
