Punjab Begins Process to Select Next Chandigarh SSP Ahead of 2027 Elections
Punjab has initiated the process to select the next Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) for Chandigarh, requesting the Punjab Police headquarters to prepare a panel of eligible IPS officers, mainly from the 2014 and 2015 batches. The current SSP, Kanwardeep Kaur of the 2013 batch, has a one-year extension until March 2027. The panel will be forwarded to the Ministry of Home Affairs and Chandigarh Administration for final selection. Early succession planning aims to address election-related transfer restrictions ahead of the 2027 Punjab Assembly elections.
