Several APS and IPS Officers Appointed as Co-District Superintendents of Police Across Assam

In a move aimed at bolstering grassroots governance and public service delivery, the Assam government has announced that 10 new co-districts will become functional from August 15, 2025, in addition to the 39 co-districts already operational across the state.

The announcement was made through a notification (No. 375037/496) issued by the General Administration Department, which stated that the decision was taken “as directed by the Honourable Governor of Assam”. The notification further added, “It is announced in the interest of public service, that as directed by the Honourable Governor of Assam, there will be another 10 co-districts to be functional from 15th August in addition to the 39 already functional co-districts through notification number 458512/76, dated 28/9/2024.”

This expansion follows the co-district system introduced last year to decentralize administration and strengthen coordination between civil and police administration.

In line with this structural enhancement, a major reshuffle of Assam Police Service (APS) and Indian Police Service (IPS) officers has also been announced. Officers have been appointed as Co-District Superintendents of Police across newly designated and existing co-districts.
