The Bihar Police Department has promoted 6,800 Assistant Sub-Inspectors to the rank of Durruga, marking a significant reshuffle in the force.
On Monday, the Bihar Police Department announced a major promotion drive that saw 6,800 Assistant Sub-Inspectors (ASIs) elevated to the rank of Durruga. The move, which covers officers from across the state, is part of a broader effort to strengthen the police hierarchy and improve operational efficiency.
The promotion list was released by the department’s official channels, listing the names and districts of the newly promoted officers. The decision is expected to fill vacancies at the Durruga level and provide a clearer career pathway for lower‑ranked personnel.
Experts say that such a large-scale promotion can boost morale and encourage better performance among the ranks. The increased number of Durrugas is also likely to enhance coordination between district and sub‑district policing units.
While no official statement quoted a senior police officer, the department confirmed that the promotions were based on merit and seniority, and that the new Durrugas will take up their duties in the coming weeks.
