Sweeping Shake-Up in J&K Police: Headquarters Reassigns 136 Deputy SPs in Massive Territorial Overhaul

Jammu – November 13, 2026: In an unprecedented administrative move aimed at recalibrating district law enforcement, enhancing counter-terror vigilance, and injecting fresh agility into territorial subdivisions, the Jammu and Kashmir Police Headquarters has issued a sweeping transfer order reallocating 136 Deputy Superintendents of Police (DSPs) across the Union Territory.

The exhaustive reshuffle, notified by Director General of Police, impacts virtually every operational arm of the police machinery. Officers holding key sub-divisional charges in Jammu, Samba, Kathua, Udhampur, Rajouri, Poonch, Baramulla, and Srinagar districts have been swapped to ensure institutional rotation and tighten grass-roots command structures.

According to administrative sources, the massive redeployment follows a thorough performance review conducted at the zonal and range headquarters. A significant contingent of officers has been moved into the Special Operations Group (SOG) and district intelligence branches to bolster ongoing security operations in both rural highland terrains and sensitive urban belts.

In addition to field assignments, multiple DSPs have been transitioned between executive policing, armed battalions, state traffic wings, and security headquarters to streamline traffic enforcement along national highways and safeguard vital critical infrastructure installations.
