Uttar Pradesh establishes new DGP appointment rules, ensuring transparency and a two-year tenure.

The Uttar Pradesh government has approved new rules for appointing the Director General of Police (DGP), establishing a selection committee led by a retired high court judge. This bypasses the previous requirement of involving the Union Public Service Commission. The DGP will have a minimum two-year tenure, and candidates must have at least six months of service left. The rules aim to ensure transparency and independence in the selection process, complying with Supreme Court directives.
