Chandigarh, January 4
Punjab is all set to have its third Director General of Police in three months. The Union Public Service Commission held a meeting in New Delhi to empanel officers for the position.
Likely names doing the rounds for the panel are former Punjab DGP Dinkar Gupta, VK Bhawra, and Prabodh Kumar. While Gupta and Bhawra are Indian Police Services officers of the 1987 batch, Prabodh Kumar is from the 1988 batch.
The Punjab government meanwhile is maintaining silence on the issue. Sources say Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi and Punjab Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu want the incumbent DGP, Siddharth Chattopadhyaya, to stay on for two years.
