Police hierarchy shake-up: Three SDIGs face imminent transfers

Three Senior Deputy Inspectors General of Police (SDIGs) are scheduled for transfer in the immediate future, according to police department sources. The moves form part of routine organisational restructuring intended to strengthen command capabilities across different regional divisions.

Among the planned transfers, the SDIG currently heading the Criminal Investigation Department is expected to be reassigned to Uva Province. The exact timing of the transfers and additional postings have not been officially confirmed by police headquarters.

The Police Department has indicated that all transfer decisions are being made in accordance with operational requirements and broader departmental objectives. Such personnel movements among senior police ranks are typically undertaken to ensure effective management of resources and improve administrative oversight across provincial boundaries.

The transfers represent part of ongoing efforts by the department to maintain institutional stability and ensure continuity of operations across major police divisions, including the CID and provincial commands. Official confirmation of the transfers and the identities of other officers involved is expected imminently.
