Why it matters
High-level police appointments are critical for maintaining law and order and reflect the state government's internal administrative priorities.
The State government promoted Suresh Rajpurohit and S. Sreejith to the rank of Director General of Police (DGP) on Friday.
The promotions were implemented shortly after the retirement of Director General of Kerala Fire and Rescue Services Nitin Agrawal.

Home Department sources indicated that more transfers are on the offing to fill the post of Managing Director of the Kerala State Beverages Corporation (BEVCO), which has remained vacant for nearly a week since the suspension of Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) M.R. Ajith Kumar, and the position of the Director General of Kerala Fire and Rescue Services
