The Commission has set the deadline considering June 30, 2024 as the completion of three years. Many times, there is a possibility of the officials staying at one place for a long time influencing the elections, which is why the Commission has issued an order to remove the officials staying for three years or more. The commission had given orders to complete all the transfers by 31 January.
- More than 150 DSPs, including 93 newly promoted DSPs, will also be transferred.

The challenge will be to control criminal activities
Such large-scale transfers in the state police will have an impact on the policing of the districts. It will be a challenge for the police to gather information for Naxal operations in the districts and also to control criminal activities. Newly deployed police officers in the districts will also have the challenge of creating an information system. This is the reason why SPs of many districts have expressed their concern in the state police headquarters also. Policing will be affected due to sudden change of team in all the districts.
