P D Nitya becomes shortest shortest-serving SSP Doda

Transferred to Pulwama within hours after assuming charge of the district

JAMMU: In a surprising turn of events, Indian Police Service (IPS) Officer P D Nitya (Potluri Durga Nitya ) has become shortest shortest-serving Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) of Doda district, who has been transferred to south Kashmir’s Pulwama hours after assuming the charge of new district.

Nitya, a 2016 batch IPS officer assumed the charge as Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Doda around 5.30 pm on Wednesday. She was transferred to Doda on January 27, after being repatriated to Jammu and Kashmir from Ladakh.

Sources said Nitya’s arrival in Doda was marked by a warm welcome ceremony and an introductory meeting with police officers, where she emphasized dedication, teamwork, and public service as priorities.

However, on January 31 evening, her tenure as SSP Doda was abruptly cut short by a government order transferring her to the Pulwama district with immediate effect.

Meanwhile, Javid Iqbal, who was earlier transferred as SSP Pulwama as per an order issued in January after his stint at the 17th IR Battalion, was asked to take over the reins in Doda
