Uttar Pradesh 44 PPS Officers Transferred in Statewide Shake-Up, Zone-Wise Breakdown

Indian Bureaucracy News, Lucknow, September 17, 2025 | The state of Uttar Pradesh has issued transfer orders for forty-four (44) Provincial Police Service (PPS) officers, all serving at the rank of Additional Superintendent of Police or equivalent.

Policing in Uttar Pradesh is spread across eight zones—Agra, Prayagraj, Bareilly, Gorakhpur, Kanpur, Lucknow, Meerut and Varanasi—which together oversee 75 districts. With more than four lakh personnel, UP Police is the largest police force in India. Its structure includes specialized wings such as the Provincial Armed Constabulary (PAC), ensuring law and order across the state.

As reported by The Times of India, since 2017 the state government has recruited 2,18,262 personnel across ranks, including 60,244 constables in the latest drive, of which 36,000 are women. This contrasts with 48,000 appointments made between 2012 and 2017.

For the benefit of our readers, we have grouped the transfers zone-wise and also listed the districts under each zone for easy reference. We hope this effort will make the information clearer and more useful.
