Chandigarh, December 27
The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) has called a meeting on January 4 for empanelment of officers for the post of Director General of Police, Punjab.
A communication to the Punjab Government was received in this regard even though the UPSC was silent on the cut-off date for the eligibility of officers. The Punjab Government and the UPSC are at odds over the cut-off date. Punjab wants officers eligible for the post should be considered from the remaining service effective from September 30, 2021. However, the UPSC maintains the date should be October 5 when the outgoing DGP, Dinkar Gupta, relinquished charge.
Today’s communication notably said the meeting would be held between the UPSC Chairman or his nominee, Union Home Secretary, or his nominee, Chief Secretary, Punjab, and the DGP, only if he is not one of the candidates. The officiating DGP, Siddarth Chattopadhyaya, is the main candidate supported by the government. — TNS
