As per the transfer list issued by the government, six IPS and four PPS officers were transferred including the SSPs and SPs of some districts. In a first such move, a Provincial Police Service (PPS) officer has also been made the police chief of a district.
In the order issued by the government, Haridwar SSP Yogendra Singh Rawat has been shifted out and posted as DIG, Intelligence and Jail. In place of Yogendra Singh Rawat, SSP STF Ajay Singh has been appointed as the new SSP of Haridwar.

He has been replaced by Ajay Singh who has made a reputation as a no-nonsense officer as SSP, STF. He has been replaced by Rudraprayag SP Ayush Aggarwal as Officer in charge of Uttarakhand STF.
