The N Chandrababu Naidu-led NDA government in Andhra Pradesh has appointed Ch Dwaraka Tirumala Rao as the new Director General of Police of the state.
Chief Secretary Neerabh Kumar Prasad issued an order on Wednesday night transferring the 1989 batch IPS officer, who is currently the Commissioner of the Public Transport Department, to the position of DGP (Coordination) with full additional charge as DGP (Head of Police Force) until further orders.
The current DGP, Harish Kumar Gupta, was transferred and posted as Principal Secretary (Home) in a separate order.
Gupta was appointed as DGP when the poll code was in force, replacing Rajendranath Reddy.
