The West Bengal government has made significant changes in its IPS cadre. Gaurav Sharma has been removed as Commissioner of Police of Bidhannagar and appointed as the IGP of the Special Task Force. Several other officers have also been reassigned to their former positions by an official order.

In a significant reshuffle within its IPS cadre, the West Bengal government has transferred Gaurav Sharma from his position as Commissioner of Police of Bidhannagar to the role of IGP for the Special Task Force (STF), an official statement revealed on Thursday.

Senior officer Mukesh has been appointed as the new Commissioner of Police for Bidhannagar, replacing Sharma. This move comes as part of a broader reorganization by the state government.

In a similar vein, Koteswar Rao, previously removed from his post as SP of the Sundarban Police District by the Election Commission of India (ECI) before the Lok Sabha elections and reassigned to West Bengal Traffic Police, has been reinstated to his former role. Additionally, Avijit Banerjee, who was earlier moved to the Intelligence Bureau (IB) from his position as Purulia SP by the EC, has also been reinstated to his earlier role. Dhritiman Sarkar, who was previously with the IB, has been appointed as the SP of Paschim Medinipur district.
