SD Singh Jamwal Appointed Arunachal Pradesh New DGP
The Ministry of Home Affairs has appointed 1995-batch IPS officer SD Singh Jamwal as the new Director General of Police of Arunachal Pradesh.
ITANAGAR- The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), Government of India, has appointed senior IPS officer Shiv Darshan Singh Jamwal, popularly known as SD Singh Jamwal, as the new Director General of Police (DGP) of Arunachal Pradesh, according to an official order issued on January 2.
Jamwal is a 1995-batch Indian Police Service officer of the Arunachal Pradesh–Goa–Mizoram and Union Territory (AGMUT) cadre. He has been transferred from his previous posting as Director General of Police of Ladakh.
He succeeds Anand Mohan, a 1994-batch AGMUT cadre IPS officer, who was appointed as the DGP of Arunachal Pradesh in June 2023 and formally assumed charge in July 2023. Anand Mohan served as the state’s police chief for nearly two-and-a-half years before being transferred out in late December 2025 as part of a broader reshuffle of senior police leadership by the central government.

Officials said his experience in sensitive and strategically important regions is expected to aid policing and security management in Arunachal Pradesh.
