Jaipur: IPS officer Amit Jain has been placed on APO (Awaiting Posting Orders) following a directive from the Department of Personnel after Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma reportedly received negative feedback about him during a recent visit to Jodhpur. Jain had only recently been posted in the city, making the sudden move a subject of considerable discussion in police and administrative circles.
CM’s Visit Triggers Action
According to sources, concerns were raised over Jain’s working style and handling of law-and-order issues, which reportedly displeased the Chief Minister during his tour. This immediate action underscores the government’s emphasis on accountability and responsiveness within the state police force.
Senior IAS Officer Gets Additional Charge
In a parallel development, senior IAS officer V. Srinivas, a 1989-batch officer of the Rajasthan cadre, has been entrusted with additional charge as Secretary of the Department of Personnel (DoPT) in the absence of Rachna Shah. The move ensures continuity in the functioning of the key department.
Focus on Administrative Efficiency
The reshuffle highlights the state government’s focus on administrative efficiency and accountability, with both the police and bureaucratic wings coming under closer scrutiny.
