Uttar Pradesh Police Chief Hitesh Chandra Awasthy will retire from service on June 30. He earlier declined the offer for an extension of his tenure. Awasthy's impending retirement has prompted authorities to initiate the selection process for the next Director-General of the Uttar Pradesh Police and a decision is still awaited. The UP government has forwarded to the central government a list of senior IPS officers from the UP cadre and the DGP will most likely be selected from that list.
