Srinagar: Jammu and Kashmir National Conference Vice President and former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Friday questioned the appointment of a temporary Director General Police and said that “there was no hurry to replace Vaid as DGP”.

In a tweet, tech-savy Omar said, “Changing the DG is the prerogative of the administration but why a DG as a temporary arrangement? The current DG won’t know if he’s going to stay & others who would like his job will be trying to replace him. None of this is good for @JmuKmrPolice. There was no hurry to replace @spvaid. He should have been changed only when a permanent arrangement had been worked out. @JmuKmrPolice has enough problems without having to deal with confusion of leadership.”
