JAMMU, May 2, 2026 : In a significant administrative move aimed at strengthening the leadership structure of the Jammu and Kashmir Police, the government has approved the promotion of two Deputy Superintendents of Police (DySPs) to the rank of Superintendent of Police (SP).
As per Government Order No. 265-Home of 2026, issued by the Home Department on May 2, 2026, sanction has been granted for the elevation of the following officers from DySP (General Cadre) to SP (Level-11) in the Pay Matrix (₹67,700–₹2,08,700), with immediate effect:
- Mudasser Ahmed Tramboo (KPS1258)
- Vaseem Mehmood (KPS125754)
The order has been issued with the approval of Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, reflecting the administration’s continued focus on recognizing merit and enhancing operational efficiency within the police force.
