Manisha to be Ist woman SSP (Traffic) of Chandigarh

Chandigarh, November 11

After more than three months, the UT is set to get a Senior Superintendent of Police (Traffic and Security).

The Ministry of Home Affairs has approved the appointment of Manisha Chaudhary, a 2011-batch IPS officer, to the post of the SSP (Traffic and Security), Chandigarh, on an inter-cadre deputation from the Haryana cadre to the AGMUT cadre for a period of three years. Presently posted as the SP, Panipat, Manisha will be the first woman SSP (Traffic) of the UT.

The post fell vacant after DIG Shashank Anand, a 2006-batch IPS officer of the Haryana cadre, was relieved of the charge on the completion of a three-year term with the Chandigarh Police on July 29. He had joined the UT police in August 2017 as the SSP (Traffic). — TNS
