The TN
government has promoted six more senior Indian Police Service officers to the
rank of Director General of Police. With these promotions, the State has a
total of 11 DGP-level officers. The
promoted 1986 batch IPS officers include M.S. Jaffar Sait, Srilakshmi Prasad,
Ashutosh Shukla, Mithilesh Kumar Jha, N. Tamilselvan and Ashish Bhengra. They
are all ADGPs in different departments. They have completed 32 years of service
and have been awaiting promotion for more than a year. The
officers had appealed to the Centre and State governments for promotion since
their batchmates in other States were promoted as DGP. Last
week, the State government issued orders stating that the officers were fit for
promotions and communicated it to the Union Ministry of Home Affairs. On
Saturday, Home Secretary Niranjan Mardi issued an order promoting the officers.
