DGP retires today, Centre yet to reply on extension

Despite Friday being the last working day for the central government in Delhi, Panda said they are still awaiting a response vis-a-vis their proposal.

The state government had sent a proposal to Ministry of Home Affairs to extend Gupta’s services for another three months on January 24. Gupta was appointed the DGP on January 1, a month before he was scheduled to retire.

The DGP headquarters on Thursday evening issued the schedule for the ceremonial parade at Gupta’s superannuation, to be held at 9 am on Saturday. IG, Law and Order, A Satish Ganesh declined to comment on the status of extension.

According to sources, DG-rank officers including Jagmohan Yadav, Surya Kumar Shukla, V K Gupta and AK Jain are top claimants for the post of DGP now.
