Dilip Cherian | Babus are losers in selection of new governors

The Centre has appointed over a dozen governors in various states but, oddly, there’s no bureaucrat on the list. Govt steps on the pedal for IPS empanelment There is a sense of urgency about the recent empanelment of over 29 IPS officers for the director general or equivalent posts at the Centre. The empanelment of these officers for DG-level and equivalent posts was considered by a selection committee comprising principal secretary to the Prime Minister, P.K. As many as eight IPS officers of the UP cadre and five officers of the Punjab were empanelled at the Centre in the rank of director general and additional director general. Most recently, two Bihar IPS officers were in a stand-off that has not only played out in the public domain but also gave ammo to chief minister Nitish Kumar’s opposition to criticise his administration.
