Bhubaneswar: No less than six IPS agents have been promoted by the Odisha government. Three of them were promoted to the grade of IGP while the other 3 IPS staff were promoted to the grade of DIG. The order was issued on Wednesday.
In accordance with the notification issued by the General Administration and Public Grievances Department of the Odisha government, three IPS officers from the 2004 batch were promoted to the IGP grade. Names include Dr Deepak Kumar, Ashis Kumar Singh, and Satyabrata Bhoi.
Likewise, three IPS staff were promoted to DIG grade. Names include Dr Umashankar Dash, Prakash R. and Dr Satyajit Naik.
Meanwhile, an IPS reshuffle is expected to be likely after taking over the new DGP in the new year.

The 2004 batch IPS officer promotions to IGP rank may not justify transfers, as Deepak Kumar and Satyabrata Bhoi may become IGP of the same lineup.
