Kuldeep Singh Chahal will be the new Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) of the UT. Chahal, a 2009-batch IPS officer, is presently serving as SSP in the neighbouring district of Mohali. 

The Appointments Committee of the Cabinet, Department of Personnel and Training, Government of India, on Monday approved the proposal of the Ministry of Home Affairs for inter-cadre deputation of IPS officer Kuldeep Singh Chahal from Punjab cadre to AGMUT Cadre (Chandigarh) for a period of three years. 

Chahal was the senior-most officer among the other two IPS officers, KB Patil and Viveksheel Soni. 

The UT Administrator had sent Soni’s name to the Home Ministry last month from among a panel of three officers. Before joining the IPS, Chahal was an Assistant Sub-Inspector in the Chandigarh Police.
