The Delhi Police witnessed a significant administrative shake-up on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, with the transfer and posting of 70 high-ranking officers. This major reshuffle, involving 50 IPS and 20 DANIPS officers, is the first large-scale restructuring under the tenure of Police Commissioner Satish Golcha. Approved by the Lieutenant Governor, the move aims to streamline law and order across the national capital just before the Holi festival.
New District DCPs Appointed in Massive Overhaul
The administrative order has replaced Deputy Commissioners of Police (DCPs) in 9 out of Delhi’s 15 districts. These officers are responsible for ground-level policing and maintaining safety in their respective jurisdictions. This restructuring is expected to bring fresh perspectives to district management.
