Gurugram: When Ramachandran, 1994-batch batch IPS officer, has been named the police commissioner of Gurugram, the first woman appointed to post.
Ramachandran, who has a long task with the intelligence agency and named Secretary of Transportation – Post Cadre IAS – on September 2021, is expected to be responsible on Tuesday.
Ramachandran was the second IPS officer from the Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) to become Gurugram police chief.
The first is Mohammad Akil (February 2019 to July 2020), which is now the Director General, prison.
The rules mandated that the Turugram Police officer, formed in 2007, must be led by IG (Inspector-General) ranking or above officers.
Ramachandran married the Senior IPS Officer Navdeep Singh Vird, who is also a former police commissioner of Gurugram.
VIRK, which is an additional DG (law and order), has been given allegations of the Department of Transportation as the main secretary.
Ramachandran told Tii, he would focus on street crime by strengthening the “basic police” and prioritizing traffic management.
Gurugram is a place where different cultures – cosmopolitan, rural and industrial side by side, makes its management complex.
“So, back to the basic police, starting from the Beat system to regular interactions with the public, will be our focus,” Ramachandran said.
Traffic, he added, is a big and important problem to reduce the number of accidents, which are very high in the city.
Initially from the Tamil Nadu cadre, Ramachandran turned to the Haryana cadre after marriage, with the task as SP REWARI, Fatehabad and Panchkula.
In 2002, he went to IB on representatives.
He returned to Haryana cadre from the central agent, where he was at the Joint Director’s level, in June 2020.
He was then posted as ADGP (head office) in Panchkula before being named the Secretary of Transportation last year, despite an objection from the Minister of Home Affairs Anil VIJ .
VIJ and Chairman of Manohar Minister Lal Khattar was in the appointment of IPS officers for the role of administrative cadres.
VIJ refused to relieve Ramachandran his duty to take over the cost and had asked questions for the appointment cleaned by the CM office.
Vij also objected to the appointment of IPS officers Shatrujeet Kapoor, the predecessor of Ramachandran, as Secretary of Transportation but CM won.
Ramachandran replaced KK Rao, who served as Gurugram police chief twice.
Rao was first appointed as police chief in the city of NCR in June 2018 and shifted after eight months.
He was brought back in June 2020.
Ramachandran’s appointment was part of a major overhaul where 15 IPS officers were shifted.
Rao has been transferred to the Bhondsi police campus.
Mamta Singh, who is the line of IG Karnal has been moved as the range of IG Rohtak while Lokender Singh was transferred as SP Hisar (he was from SP Kaital).
Maqsood Ahmad, which was posted as Gurugram DCP (East), was appointed with SP Kaital.
Virender Kumar is named the new DCP (East) Gurugram.
During last year, Gurugram police had a share of controversy, with the former Police Station Sho of Kheri Daula was arrested for allegedly extending Rs 50 Lakh from a businessman and DCP Dheeraj Setia, now suspended, was ordered for allegedly taking bribes and allegedly.
Trying to avoid the Multi-Crore Heist that occurred in a housing last August.
Recently, the responsible crime unit was suspended for allegedly taking money from the defendant in the murder case of a student at the SGT University campus last October.
