The changes have been made to improve law and order in the state, according to official sources.
Prafulla Thakur, who was previously the SP of Kanker district, will now take on the role of Chief Minister’s Security Officer. The SPs of seven districts, namely Bilaspur, Surguja, Koriya, Balod, Baloda Bazar, Bemetara and Gariaband have also been transferred.

In conclusion, the transfer of IPS officers in Chhattisgarh is a move aimed at improving law and order in the state, by bringing fresh perspectives to the leadership of the affected districts and boosting the morale of the police force to tackle crime more efficiently.
