UP DGP Selection: Yogi government sent panel to UPSC for DGP selection, names of more than three dozen officers included
Lucknow. The Supreme Court has made it mandatory to send a panel to the Union Public Service Commission for the appointment of DGP in the states. After this decision, the Home Department of UP has also formalized it. The panel of names of IPS officers was sent to the Commission on Tuesday by the state government. This includes the names of officers who have completed 30 years of service.

According to the information received, the state government has sent the names of more than three dozen officers of the year 1990 to 1996 batch to the commission. However, out of these, the Commission will identify three officers on the basis of seniority and send their names to the state government. Thereafter the state government will select one of them for the post of DGP.
Let us tell you that at present the name of 1990 batch IPS and DG Renuka Mishra is at the top in the seniority list of IPS officers. After this, the name of current DGP Rajeev Krishna is followed by Alok Sharma (DG SPG) of the year 1991 batch, Piyush Anand (DG NDRF). It is believed that after the panel returns from the Commission, the name of Rajiv Krishna will be approved by the state government.
Let us tell you that after the strictness of the Supreme Court on the appointment of permanent DGP in Uttar Pradesh, the stir has intensified. UP Police has not got a permanent DGP for almost 4 years. Although the state government has made rules, it has not been able to implement them yet. If sources are to be believed, after the panel returns from the Commission, the state government is likely to put the final seal on the name of current DGP Rajeev Krishna. However, the final decision will be taken only after the recommendation of UPSC and the approval of the state government. This entire process has been implemented to ensure transparency and selection based on seniority, thereby promoting stability and professional efficiency in police administration.
