If necessary, the SHOs should be shifted only on written permission from range IG, Home minister Gulab Chand Kataria said during a review meeting with Additional Chief Secretary A Mukhopadhyay, DGP Manoj Bhatt and other senior police officers.
Kataria said repeated transfers of SHOs affect their functioning and they, therefore should not be moved for at least a year.
He also asked the officers to ensure that the SHO once transferred from a police station should not return to the same police station.
