Centre Extends Chandigarh SSP Kanwardeep Kaur's Tenure by One Year

The Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC) has approved a one-year extension for Chandigarh Senior Superintendent of Police Kanwardeep Kaur, a 2013-batch IPS officer from the Punjab cadre, extending her tenure beyond March 8, 2026. Kaur, the first officer to receive such an extension in Chandigarh since its Union Territory status, has led the police through high-profile investigations and law-and-order challenges, including protests and the implementation of new criminal laws. The extension follows approvals from Punjab and UT authorities amid administrative considerations.
