The Jammu and Kashmir police force has undergone a large-scale administrative transition, with reports confirming the transfer of roughly 100 senior-ranking officers. This move represents a substantial change in the command structure across various districts and specialized units within the region.

Among the notable changes, Swarn Singh Kotwali has been appointed as the new Deputy Inspector General (DIG) for the Udhampur-Reasi Range. Additionally, the department has reassigned Aijaz Ahmad Bhat, who previously served as the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) for Traffic in Srinagar City, to the position of Commandant of the 23rd Armed Police battalion.

While the specific motivations behind this widespread reshuffle have not been officially detailed by the department, such administrative actions are typically conducted to optimize operational efficiency and rotate leadership roles within the force. The transition affects a broad spectrum of the police hierarchy, signaling a comprehensive effort to reorganize personnel across both administrative and field-based units. As of now, the department has not released a full list of the 100 officers affected, but these initial appointments indicate a shift in both regional oversight and specialized tactical command.
