In a significant administrative reshuffle, the Bhajan Lal-led Rajasthan government has transferred nine Rajasthan Administrative Service (RAS) officers late on Thursday night. The Department of Personnel issued official orders announcing the new postings.
As per the orders, Mr. Manoj Kumar Meena has been posted as SDM Ghadsana, Mr. Mahesh Chandra Mann as SDM Bhaniyana (Jaisalmer), Mr. Prabhjot Singh Gill as SDM Mundwa, Mr. Lakharam as SDM Pokhran, Mr. Sandeep Chaudhary as SDM Bajju (Bikaner), Mr. Kunal Rahad as SDM Bikaner North, Mr. Bharatraj Gurjar as SDM Fatehgarh, Ms. Kavita Godara as Assistant Collector Sikar, and Mr. Ramlal Meena as SDM Gadra Road (Barmer).
Simultaneously, the Rajasthan government has also lifted the long-standing ban on transfers of officers and employees in the sensitive border districts of Barmer, Jaisalmer, Sriganganagar, Bikaner, and Jodhpur. The Administrative Reforms Department issued an order late Thursday night permitting transfers in these regions, citing current administrative requirements and evolving security conditions along the Indo-Pak border.
The directive will be applicable across all government departments, corporations, boards, and autonomous bodies in the state. The transfer ban, originally imposed on January 15, 2023, was aimed at ensuring administrative continuity in strategically sensitive areas, but the recent decision reflects a shift in priorities based on ground realities.
