Punjab Appoints Gaurav Yadav as Regular DGP with Two-Year Tenure
The Punjab government has appointed Gaurav Yadav, a 1992-batch IPS officer, as the regular Director General of Police (DGP) with a minimum tenure of two years. This decision follows the Union Public Service Commission's empanelment of Yadav and two other officers in July and comes after the Punjab and Haryana High Court urged the state to end the prolonged additional-charge arrangement. The appointment aims to comply with court directives and police reform guidelines from the Supreme Court's Prakash Singh case.
