West Bengal's government has appointed Manoj Verma as the new Kolkata Police Commissioner, replacing Vineet Goyal. Verma, previously ADG Law & Order Bengal, is known for his work in Maoist areas and Barrackpore Police. This move comes amid a healthcare crisis in Kolkata. In response, the state has also transferred two senior health officials: Dr. Swapan Soren replaces Dr. Debashis Halder as Director of Health Services, while Dr. Kaustav Nayak shifts to Director of Institute of Health and Family Welfare. The changes aim to address ongoing issues with the city's health services.
