Greater Noida, May 14 (IANS) Two senior police officials, including Gautam Budh Nagar district police chief, were transferred as a fallout of a violent farmers’ agitation near Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh officials said Saturday.
Additional Director General of Police for National Capital Region (NCR) Gurbachan Lal has been replaced by K.L. Meena, while Senior Superintendent of Police for Gautam Budh Nagar Surya Nath Singh has been replaced by Jyoti Prasad, according to officials.
The agitation by farmers demanding higher compensation for their land acquired by the government led to clashes and exchange of gun fire between them and the police killing four people earlier this week.
