The Himachal Pradesh government has officially relieved Aditi Singh, a 2021-batch Indian Police Service (IPS) officer, from her position in the Himachal cadre, following her inter-cadre transfer to the Haryana Police. This decision, effective immediately, was made due to Singh's frequent absences from duty, which had raised concerns about the operational efficiency of her office. Between January 8 and February 22, 2025, Singh availed 25 days of leave, prompting the Himachal Pradesh Director General of Police (DGP) Ashok Tewari to assign her responsibilities to her subordinate. The transfer was approved by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on April 10, leading to her formal release by officiating Chief Secretary Sanjay Gupta on April 26. Singh's previous roles included serving as the Superintendent of Police at the State Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau in Dharamshala. Her case highlights the administrative processes involved in inter-cadre transfers of All India Services officers, which are typically initiated under specific provisions.
