A 1988-batch IPS officer, Manoj Yadava,
currently on central deputation with the Intelligence Bureau, has been
appointed Haryana's Director General of Police. His tenure will be for a period
of two years from the date of assuming charge. His selection was almost certain. He had
already sent his consent for his return to his parent state, indicating that he
would be picked for the post - his name being on the panel recommended by the
Union Public Service Commission. The other two officers shortlisted for the
post at a meeting last week were K Selvaraj, a 1985-batch officer, and Krishan
Kumar Sindhu, a 1986-batch officer. Yadava's name was approved this evening. A "hardcore" officer, Yadava joined
the IB in February 2003. He has served in Guwahati too. In Haryana, he served
as the district police chief in Panchkula, Ambala, Panipat, and Fatehabad and
also as SP, Traffic and Security, Chandigarh Police (1994-97). Now, both Principal Secretary to the CM
Rajesh Khullar and the DGP belong to the 1988 batch.
With Yadava's selection, a fresh round of
transfers is imminent since he supersedes six officers. Also, as per the
Election Commission of India's directive, officers posted in their home
districts or those who have completed three years on one post have to be posted
out.
