The Odisha government today effected a major reshuffle in the senior IPS cadre by changing the portfolio of at least 10 officers, according to a notification issued by the home department.
Satyajit Mohanty, a 1988 batch IPS officer, who is posted as the additional director general (ADG), Headquarters, has been given additional responsibility of additional director general (ADG), Law and Order.
Similarly, Manoj Kumar Chhabra has been transferred and posted as additional director general (ADG), Odisha Human Rights Commission replacing Santosh Kumar Upadhyay. Chhabra was the chairman and managing director (CMD) of Odisha Police Housing & Welfare Corporation (OPH&WC). Upadhyay has been transferred and posted as CMD of OPH&WC.

Arun Kumar Ray, 1989 batch officer, has been posted as additional DGP, Prisons. He was ADG, SAP. B Radhika of the same batch, presently posted as Director, State Crime Records Bureau, has been given additional charge of ADG, SAP (Special Armed Police).
On the other hand, the 1990 batch officer Sudhansu Sarangi has been posted as CMD of state-owned Odisha State Road Transport Corporation (OSRTC) after his return from Central deputation.
The 2002 batch officer Narasingha Bhol, SP Ganjam on promotion to the rank of DIG is posted as DIG, Vigilance.

The principle of pay parity was subsequently endorsed by

the cadre controlling authority--the Ministry of Home Affairs, and forwarded for final decision to the Department of Personnel where it is still pending without any indication of any forward movement, Ramasashtry said.
"The Union Cabinet has instructed the concerned administrative departments to examine the other parity issues - yet there is no progress on that front," the senior IPS officer said.
The GBM therefore resolved to submit a memorandum to the government for early implementation of remaining recommendations of the pay panel, he said.
"The GBM has also urged the association to take up delays in empanelment and denial of entitled apex pay scale to the Directors General of some Central Police Organisations/ Central Armed Police Forces and pursue the same with the government," Ramasashtry said.
