Raipur, April 3 The Chhattisgarh Police Department has issued an amended order, entrusting the command of Janjgir-Champa district to Nivedita Pal, Commandant of the 6th Battalion, who has now been appointed as Officer-in-Charge (In-charge SP) of the district.
The amendment modifies the previous order that had assigned the additional charge of Janjgir-Champa to Vimal Kumar Bais.
The fresh directive was issued by the Director General of Police (DGP), keeping in view departmental requirements and the need to maintain administrative balance. This change comes as the regular Superintendent of Police of Janjgir-Champa, Vijay Pandey, has been deputed for a 45-day training programme at the National Police Academy (NPA), Hyderabad.
The training is scheduled to commence on April 6 and conclude on May 15. To ensure smooth maintenance of law and order during the absence of regular SPs, the state has made alternative arrangements in four districts.
Manisha Thakur Rawate has been given charge of Raipur Rural, Trilok Bansal has been assigned as In-charge SP of Kondagaon, and Neeraj Chandrakar has been given the responsibility of Gariaband district.
Nivedita Pal, an experienced IPS officer currently serving as Commandant of the 6th Battalion, brings considerable field and administrative expertise to the sensitive Janjgir-Champa district. These simultaneous changes reflect the Chhattisgarh Police leadership’s proactive approach to balancing the training requirements of senior officers with the uninterrupted functioning of district police administration.
Senior officials stated that such periodic deputations for specialised training at the prestigious NPA are essential for upgrading the skills of police leadership in modern policing, cybercrime, intelligence gathering, and community-oriented law enforcement.
The amended order ensures that there is no vacuum in command in any of the affected districts. All newly assigned officers have been directed to take immediate charge and maintain close coordination with the district administration for effective policing.
This reshuffle is part of routine administrative exercises carried out by the DGP’s office to strengthen the police force while providing professional development opportunities to its officers.
