Instructions Ahead of Panchayat Elections:
The order directs all the officers concerned to assume charge of their new assignments immediately, without using any joining time or leave.
The concerned Divisional Commissioners and District Collectors have also been instructed to ensure that the officers are relieved from their existing positions so they can join their new assignments without delay. The order warns that failure to comply with these instructions will invite disciplinary action, for which the officers concerned will be personally responsible.
The transfer order was issued by Dheeraj Kumar Singh, Joint Secretary to the Government of Rajasthan, on behalf of the Governor.
