Major IPS transfers likely in MHA by Mid-January 2026

Unofficial chatter predicts transfers of 5-7 senior IPS officers from CRPF/CISF to MHA’s anti-crime task force by mid-January 2026, including a potential DG-level posting for a BSF veteran. Driven by the 360-degree plan, whispers of “political sensitivities” are delaying announcements.

Officials suggest the reshuffle aligns with MHA’s nationwide anti-crime strategy.  The 360-degree plan emphasises coordination between CAPFs and state police. Political analysts note careful timing to avoid controversies before state elections.  Sources indicate the reshuffle may strengthen counter-terror and internal security measures.
