Suspense over Mumbai's new police chief to end in a few days

The procedure to appoint a new commissioner of police (CP) for Mumbai will begin soon. But it’ll be a few more days before the city can see its new police head. The previous CP Satyapal Singh handed in his resignation on January 30. But, after the Governor promulgated an ordinance on police reforms that defines procedures of posting and transfers of officials, choosing Singh’s successor may take time.
