UT SSP (Law and Order) Nilambari Jagdale was today relieved of the charge. Vineet Kumar, a 2015-batch Indian Police Service (IPS) officer who is presently the SP (City), will officiate as the SSP (Law and Order) till the time a new SSP joins.

Jagdale, a 2008-batch Punjab-cadre IPS officer, served the city for three years. She was the first woman SSP of Chandigarh.

The names for the posts of SSP (Security and Traffic) and SSP (Law and Order) are yet to be received from the Ministry of Home Affairs. The Administration had sent three names of IPS officers to the ministry.
