Senior officer Sukhchain Singh Gill is now the head of the state police's intelligence wing. This shuffle aims to optimize resources and ensure efficient administration within the state's law enforcement agencies.

The Punjab government has announced new assignments for eight IPS officers in a comprehensive reshuffle. Notably, Sukhchain Singh Gill, a senior officer, has been appointed as the head of the state's intelligence wing, taking over from P K Sinha.
