Lucknow | Friday, April 10, 2026 — In a major push to optimize district administration and urban policing, the Uttar Pradesh government has cleared the transfer of 12 IPS officers. The list, dominated by the 2022 “RR” batch, sees several young officers stepping into elevated roles as Additional Superintendents and Deputy Commissioners.
The reshuffle touches nearly every corner of the state, from the industrial belts of western U.P. to the sensitive Naxal-affected zones in the south.
Prominent Promotions and Transfers
Leading the list is Shri Sagar Jain (2019 batch), who transitions from Saharanpur to a high-stakes role as Deputy Commissioner of Police in the Prayagraj Commissionerate. In a similar vein, the state’s major urban centers—Lucknow, Varanasi, and Meerut—received fresh leadership with the appointments of Sushri Twinkle Jain, Sushri Lipi Nagayach, and Shri Vinayak Gopal Bhosale to Additional SP and Deputy Commissioner roles.
Deployment to Specialized Zones
The government has also reinforced its focus on the Naxal-affected districts of Mirzapur and Sonbhadra. Shri Rajkumar Meena and Shri Rishabh Runwal have been tasked with overseeing these regions as Additional Superintendents of Police (Naxal), bringing fresh energy to the state’s security operations in the forest-heavy border belts.
