Senior IPS officer S N Shrivastava, who was appointed the special commissioner of Police (Law and Order) of Delhi Police this week, has been given the additional charge of the Delhi Police commissioner with effect from Sunday, an official order said.
Shrivastava, a 1985-batch IPS officer, will take charge from incumbent Amulya Patnaik, who demits office on Saturday.
On Monday, Shrivastava was repatriated from the Central Reserve Police Force and appointed as the special commissioner (law and order) of the Delhi Police, amid the communal violence in northeast Delhi.
Talking to reporters while touring the riot-hit areas in northeast Delhi, Shrivastava said, "My primary job will be to ensure that there is a feeling of security and people should also feel police are there for them."
