Jaipur: REET papers
have once again gone
viral on social media.
The RBSE also admitted
that the portions of pa-
pers which are being
circulated on social me-
dia are of REET only
.
When 8 pages of Social
Studies and one page of
child development pa-
per went viral, ques-
tions were raised in the
examination. A total of
60 questions were asked
in paper. However,
Board’s public relations
officer Rajendra Gupta
said that it will not be
called a paper leak.
BJP MP Dr. Kirodi lal
Meena and ABVP na-
tional secretary Hushy-
ar Meena targeted CM
Gehlot over the issue.
Meena said that when
paper was submitted by
REETcandidates,where
did it come from on so-
cial media?. Meanwhile,
a case of missing two
OMR sheets at Poddar
School, Gandhinagar
has also surfaced rais-
ing questions about the
transparency of REET.
Laxman Raghav
Bikaner: Education
Minister Dr B D Kalla
on Monday ruled out re-
ports of REET paper
leak saying that the ex-
amination was conduct-
ed at all the centres with
transparency
.
“If a paper is taken
out after the exam is
over, it is not considered
as a paper leak,” he said
in Bikaner on Monday
after inaugurating two
classrooms in the Govt
Higher Sec School of
Sadulganj in Bikaner.
He said that after the
exam was over, someone
put a paper on social me-
dia but this does not
mean that it was leaked.
“There is no paper leak
but those who have the
habit of opposing, will
continue to protest,” he
said. Kalla advised
school-going students to
follow a healthy lifestyle
and stay away from junk
food. “Students should
stay away from junk
food and adopt a re-
strained and healthy
routine,” he said

Jaipur: Sports Minis-

that the rift between

a different point of view
while the public repre-
sentatives look at it

conflict.

CONG INFIGHTING
MORE INTERESTING
THAN FRICTIONS
IN MEGHALAYA
ecently, police in
Meghalaya raided a
resort owned by BJP
leader Bernard
Marak Rimpu, call-
ing it a “brothel”. Police claimed
to have rescued five minors, in-
cluding a girl, from Rimpu
Bagan and arrested 73 people.
Marak has denied any wrongdo-
ing and was defended by the
state party unit which said that
Marak was possibly a victim of
political vendetta. Marak point-
ed his finger at Chief Minister
Conrad Sangma to allege that he
was behind the raid. BJP is a
minor ally in the Meghalaya
Democratic Alliance headed by
National People’s Party. The
BJP views it as an attempt to
malign the party. Whatever the
party may say, the alliance ap-
pears to have hit a rough patch.
Meghalaya being too distant
for the media it is more focused
on the infighting in the Con-
gress in Karnataka where state
Congress president DK Shivaku-
mar and former Chief Minister
Siddaramaiah are keen to settle
the leadership issue before 2023
Assembly elections. Their ambi-
tions may hurt the party
.
R
ope Francis will
be in Canada to
tender a personal
apology on behalf
of the Roman
Catholic Church for its in in-
volvement in physical, sexu-
al, mental and emotional
abuse of children of the coun-
try’s Indigenous population
comprising the Metis and In-
uit over several decades. He
had earlier expressed regret
for the deplorable acts of Jes-
uit priests when a delegation
of Indigenous people met him
at the Apostolic Palace in
Vatican City in April this
year. Canada’s Indigenous
community has been insist-
ing on a personal apology by
the Pope, although it will not
remove the scars on people’s
minds. The apology will be
merely symbolic.
In the name of “cultural as-
similation” Catholic priests
responsible for education
forcefully took away about
150,000 Indigenous children
from their families to live in
church-run schools. Because
of the abuse, thousands of
them died. The horrific de-
tails emerged after more than
1300 unmarked graves were
found where the schools
stood. As part of cultural as-
similation children were
barred from speaking their
language, practicing their
culture and traditions.
That church misused its
powers against the Indige-
nous people of Canada is not
the only instance of its kind.
In 2015, Pope Francis apolo-
gized for the “grave sins”
committed by the church. He
then said, “…Many grave sins
were committed against the
native people of America in
the name of God…I humbly
seek forgiveness…”
In 2000, Pope John Paul II

gize for centuries of violence

P
sadefenceanalyst,Ihavebeen
critically following, observing
and predicting the expected
and the future of Russo -
Ukraine conflict. After more
than five months of impasse,
the Eastern Europe is gripped
by the most destructive Euro-
pean conventional military
conflict since World War II.
The damage done to Ukraine
ismosttragicthough,indirect-
ly it affects the entire EU. It is
not just the refugee inflow and
the corresponding economic
burden on European coun-
tries, the ongoing war will
have many other repercus-
sions, world over. The Russian
responsetoNATOsanctionsis
notonlyresultinginwiderim-
plicationsfortheglobalecono-
my but disproportionately af-
fecting poorer countries.
If media reports are to be
believed, Ukrainians appear
to be losing unity amid mili-
tary defeats in the Donbass
and mounting economic cri-
sis. The surge of patriotism
that arose when the Russian
army was close to Kiev ap-
pears to have been exhaust-
ed. Along with it, the nation-
al consensus that saw all po-
litical groups rallying behind
the Ukrainian army seems to
have disappeared.
To counter the effects of
sanctions, the Russian army
has pivoted its strategy and
appears to be concentrating
on objectives of economic in-
terest and by mid-June, Rus-
sia occupied 125.000 sq kms of
Ukrainian territory
. The civil
society and the Army are
now not hopeful of a speedy
victory against the invaders
and even Zelensky himself
has lost his optimism.
If we go by the recent his-
tory, we would learn that in
the modern world, famines
are man-made. The Russia -
Ukraine war is a Suttle re-
minder of this fact and now
threatens millions of endan-
gered people around the
world with extreme hunger.
Much to the trauma of the
world, Ukraine remains the
breadbasket for the world, ex-
porting millions of tonnes of
wheat,barleyandmaizeevery
year. It is also a leader in sun-
flower seeds export used for
vegetable oil. But overnight,
these commodities have van-
ished from food stocks as Rus-
siacontinueschockingthesea
trade routes of Ukraine. The
dominance of Black Sea by
RussianNavyhasplungedthe
global food markets into a tur-
moil, with soaring prices, ex-
port bans and shortages.
Countries across Asia, the
Middle East, Africa, and even
Latin America are reeling un-
der the effects of this conflict.
The threat to global food
security is further aggravat-
ed by the upheaval in fuel and
fertiliser markets as, short-
ages and price hikes reduce
access to these vital inputs
for farming community. Ag-
riculturists believe that with-
out urgent action, food pro-
duction and crop yields will
get slashed and may raise a
frightening possibility of
food crisis the world over in
next 12 to 24 months and
cause multiple famines.
Shockingly
, the World Food
Programme’s latest analysis,
completed in Jun - July re-
veals there were 276 million
severely hungry people
marching towards starvation
before the war. This number
has risen to 345 million dur-
ing the period of the Ukraine
crisis.Thereportfurthersays
that a staggering 50 million
peoplein45countriesarenow
just one step from famine.
Paradoxically
, this War has
demonstrated how interde-
pendent EU is on the country
they impose sanctions upon.
However,somecountrieshave
already started detesting the
NATO actions on Russia. As
they understand how difficult
it will be for them to beat the
winters without availability
of Russian gas. Kremlin con-
trols 25% of world’s natural
gas requirements and 18% of
coalexports.While,European
Unionimportsroughly43per-
cent of its requirement of
naturalgasfromRussia,mak-
ing them heavily dependent
onthesuperpower.Becauseof
Putin’s decision to limit en-
ergy exports to many nations,
theconsequencesof theEuro-
pean energy crisis have ex-
panded and redefined the way
in which Europe approaches
energy efforts and its rela-
tions with Moscow. Should it
stand by Ukraine and NATO
or, allow its citizens, industry
and economy to grow by
mendingfenceswithRussiais
the moot question.
The leadership of Europe
is also fearful that the lavish
deliveries of ‘lethal weapons’
from the US, UK and other
NATO countries to Ukraine
are finding their way to the
dark web. The Ukrainian
traders claim to offer not just
small arms or body Armor
on the dark web, but also
such sophisticated hardware
as Javelin and NLAW anti-
tank systems or Phoenix
Ghost and Switchblade ex-
plosive drones that may dis-
turb their eco subsystems.
Its time, that world leaders
come together by surrender-
ing their own interest of
dominance and arms sale to
give priority to the very exist-
ence and development of the
human race.

New Delhi: In the pres-
idential election, no
candidate would have
been insulted in his own
state like Yashwant Sin-
ha has been. He has got
a good number of votes
all over the country
. But
in Jharkhand, he was in
a very bad condition.
Leaders of both UPA
and NDA deserted him.
Usually, the MLAs and
MPs of the state
to which the
candidate belongs, vote
for them irrespective of
the party line. But this
time in Jharkhand, the
reverse has happened.
There are 81 MLAs and
14 MPs in the state, out
of which Yashwant Sin-
ha did not get a single
MP’s vote. Only eight of
the MLAs voted for him.
This happened when
two MPs in the state be-
long to the UPA and
close to 50 MLAs have
the support of the JMM-
led UPA government.
In fact, the JMM,
which is running the
government in the state,
had already announced
to support Droupadi
Murmu in the name of
tribal community
. Con-
gress definitely support-
ed Yashwant Sinha but
Congress MLAs and the
lone MP engaged in
cross voting. This is also

Mumbai: India’s for-
eign currency (forex)
reserves as on Sunday
night stood at $US 572
billion even as the
country appears head-
ed for a record year-on-
year growth in its forex
holdings that stood at
$US 561 billion and $US
642 billion for the en-
tire fiscal years of 2020-
2021 and 2021-2022 re-
spectively
.
Progressively, the fo-
rex mop-up over the
last 8 years has wit-
nessed a steady and
consistent improve-
ment over the previous
year since 2014 under
the Narendra Modi led
Union Government.
During the erstwhile
UPA-2 government led
by Prime Minister
Manmohan Singh (not-
ed economist) of the
Indian National Con-
gress, the forex hold-
ings grew from $US 251
billion in 2008-2009 to
$US 304 billion in 2013-
2014 (over six fiscal
years), the Modi led
NDA government has
maintained a much
higher and consistent
forex growth levels an-
nually.
Since the BJP came
to power in India in
the 2014-2015 fiscal
year ($US 341 bn), 2015-
2016 ($US 360 bn), 2016-
2017 ($US369 bn), 2017-
2018 ($US 424 bn); bar-
ring the 2018-2019 fis-
cal ($US 412 bn), the
forex growth has con-
sistently been main-
tained. The growth
levels were main-
tained in 2019-2020
($US 477bn), 2020-2021
($US 561 bn), 2021-2022
(642 bn) with the first
two quarters of the
current fiscal year
2022-2023 already regis-
tering $US 572 bn so far.
Co-convenor of the
BJP’s Maharashtra
Vyapari Cell Mahen-
dra Jain disagrees.
Says he, “We are heav-
ily dependent on forex
for importing of oil
and gold, although the
sharp rupee trade ne-
gotiations by India
with many countries
has already resulted
in a rupee-rouble
trade deal for oil im-
ports from Russia, ed-
ible and soybean oil
imports from Indone-
sia and now we are ne-
gotiating a rupee cur-
rency trade deal with
Iran from where we
have huge gas im-
ports. Effectively the
sanctions that were
placed on Russia more
recently, and on Iran
earlier by the Euro-US
axis have failed. India
has shifted close to a
quarter of its imports
to rupee transactions
which again is a big
save and further bol-
sters out forex re-
serves each year.”
Why do we need such a large pool of (forex)
reserves although it is a contingency against
oil imports? Forex reserves growth is an
overhyped fact. Indian economy had
faced a huge balance of payment crisis
in 1991 and was able to leverage her
gold reserves for an (int'l) bridge loan
to overcome the crisis. We are a very
large and vibrant economy where the
manufacturing sector is very weak even
when compared to middle income industrial countries.
—Ravi Duggal, Fiscal sociologist
While Europe (Euro)
and China (Yuan)
tried to similarly exit the
$US hegemony in interna-
tional transactions they con-
ducted the huge dollar holdings
they had made the exercise futile,
Jain pointed out. On this fact, even
Duggal agrees while remembering
the Chinese efforts on the front.

Sharat K Verma
New Delhi: The results
of the municipal elec-
tions held in two phases
of Madhya Pradesh are
out. Both the major par-
ties of the state are in-
terpreting it in their
own way before the pub-
lic, but it is being inter-
preted differently with-
in both the parties. BJP
leaders are interpreting
this in two ways. Lead-
ers close to Chief Min-
ister Shivraj Singh
Chouhan are calling it a
big victory and they say
that this has put an end
to the speculation of
changing the Chief
Minister. In his sup-
port, he is using the
congratulations given
by the Prime Minister.
The second camp is ped-
dling the narrative that
last time not a single
Congress mayor could
win, while this time
five mayors won.
Last time, all 16 may-
ors were from BJP,
while this time there
are only nine. In this
way, discussions are
being held to change
the CM before next
year’s assembly elec-
tions. Although it is not
known what the BJP
high command
will do,
but from Narottam
Mishra to Prahlad Pa-
tel, many names, as
potential CM, have
also started to be
floated around.
There is a sepa-
rate debate between
Congress and BJP
about this. Congress
is calling it its big
victory and has
claimed that Kamal
Nath will come
to power
again in
next year’s
elections.
The party leaders
maintain that in the
elections held in 2015,
not a single Congress
mayor had won, then in
2018, Congress won,
while this time five
Congress mayors have
won. The Congress has
also won in Jyotiradi-
tya Scindia’s strong-
hold Gwalior and Nar-
endra Singh Tomar’s
stronghold Morena. On
the other hand, BJP
says that Congress has
got half the victory
from BJP despite all
the efforts. Nine out of
16 mayors of the state
belong to the BJP, while
the Congress has five.
Similarly, in these 16
municipal corpora-
tions, the BJP has won
491 wards, while the
Congress has won 274.
The BJP has won 975
wards in 76 municipali-
ties of the state, while
the Congress has won
in 571. Furthermore,
the BJP has won 2,002
wards and the Con-
gress in 1,087 wards of
the state’s 225 councils.
Will MP Municipal polls results bring an end to Shivraj’s CMship?

SC to hear plea against Raj
HC’s parole ‘to have a child’
Supreme Court on Mon-
day agreed to hear a
plea challenging
the Rajasthan High
Court order which
granted parole to a man
serving life jail terms
for progeny
.
A bench headed
by the Chief Justice of
India NV Ramana
agreed to list the plea
next week.
A counsel mentioned
before the Apex court
that the HC’s order has
opened floodgates and
many convicts are ap-
plying for parole on this
ground. The lawyer said
that this is not a valid
ground for granting per-
mission for parole.
In April this year, the
RajasthanHighCourtor-
dered the release of a
manfor15daysonparole.
The High Court’s or-
der came on the con-
vict’s wife’s plea assert-
ing her “right of prog-
eny” and seeking her
husband’s release. The
HC said that denial to
the convict-prisoner to
perform conjugal rela-
tionship with his wife
more particularly for
the purpose of progeny
would adversely affect
the rights of his wife.
The HC had cited
various religious
scriptures while allow-
ing the plea and said
that the right to have a
progeny also finds
mention in the reli-
gious scriptures in the
literature available on
various sites.

ACTION AGAINST ILLEGAL MININING
CM TASKS POLICE TO CHECK ILLEGAL
MINING BUT QUESTIONS REMAIN!
Jaipur: Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot is serious
about illegal mining prevention and has handed
over the responsibility to the police instead of the
Mines Department. Following the instructions of
the CM, the police are continuously taking action
against illegal mining. So far, the police have
taken action in about 10 districts. But there is
another side to this whole episode. Police are fac-
ing the highest number of corruption charges in
illegal mining so far. So, will the police be able to
stop the dangerous work of illegal mining?

meeting with Chief
Minister Ashok Gehlot,
Congress leader and

The bill was cleared
during the previous

miffed with his own

that there are several
discrepancies in the
roster for the recruit-
ments prepared by the

He said, “I met Chief
Minister twice on OBC
reservation issue
and demanded
to sort it out at
the earliest.”
C h a u d -
hary said
that the
CM assured him of the
quick action but it did
not happen. He said that
it seems that some peo-

Jaipur: Increasing po-
litical interference has
made it more difficult for
Collectors to work in dis-
tricts as the perpetual
tussle and clashes be-
tween public representa-
tives personal interest
of legislators along with
groupism, has marred
the Collectors. This situ-
ation is more prevalent
and serious in districts
like Bharatpur, Barmer,
Alwar, Chittorgarh and
Bundi.
The recent case is of
Bharatpur, where a dis-
turbing incident has oc-
curred. a MLA from the
district has furnished a
breach of privilege mo-
tioninthestateassembly
against the Collector,
complainingthattheCol-
lector didn’t reply to his
letter. Now the Assembly
Secretariat has issued a
notice and asked the Col-
lector to file a reply
.
The politico is MLA
Nadbai, Joginder Awana
and Collector is 2013
batch IAS Alok Ranjan.
The matter pertains to
encroachment of a land,
belonging to one Puran
of Unch village, by one
Hetram. Puran had com-
plained before Collector
on June 8 and the officer
immediately gave orders
to SP and SDM to take ac-
tion. The encroachment
was removed while FIR
was filed against 5 ac-
cused and one was ar-
rested.
But MLA Awana is not
too pleased with the ac-
tion and on July 7, he
wrote a letter to the Col-
lector sought a factual
report from the official
within three days. When
theCollectordidn’treply
,
the MLA found it to be
breach of his privilege
and last week he even
complaint regarding the
Collector to Assembly
Speaker. Now the Collec-
tor has furnished his ex-
planation to Awana say-
ing,“Your letter wassent
to authorities for re-
quired action, but owing
to the protest by saints
against illegal mining
and since law order
was affected due to this
move, action couldn’t be
taken on the matter im-
mediately. Along with
this, since the post of
ADM is lying vacant, a
delaywascausedinsend-
ing the report. In the fu-
ture, immediate action
will be taken on your let-
ters and reply would be
given on time.”
Although the Collec-
tor has apologised, but
the matter has taken a
new turn. Another MLA
from the district - Wajib
Ali - has also opened a
front against the Collec-
tor and has said that he
supportsAwana andwill
stage protest. Ali has ac-
cused the district admin-
istration of being BJP’s
puppet.Truthbetold,the
BJP and district admin-
istration is not so much
at tussle with each other
as two MLAs of ruling
party who are fighting
through groups. Minis-
ter Vishvendra Singh
has his own group while
few Congress MLAs are
standing with Awana.
Appointing Awana as
Chairman of Devnaray-
an Board hasn’t gone
down well with other
CongressMLAsandthey
have levelled allegations
against Awana that he
has encroached on land
belonging to Dalits and
running a monthly bond
racket wherein, he takes
money from contractors.
Buttheimportantpart
is that in past 3 years, 5
Collectors have been
changed in district. Vish-
vendra Singh got Arushi

monthsandithasmerely

after him too.

GEHLOT GIFTS BABUS A CHANCE
FOR PROMOTION TWICE A YEAR!
First India Bureau
Jaipur: Chief Minis-
ter Ashok Gehlot has
approved the proposal
to organise the meet-
ing of Departmental
Promotion Committee
(DPC) twice a year. Af-
ter this decision, even
after the regular meet-
ing of the Departmen-
tal Promotion Commit-
tee in all the depart-
ments, one more meet-
ing of the committee
will be held for the va-
cant posts.
According to the
proposal, if the regular
DPC on posts to be
filled by promotion in
all services is done be-
fore September 30 and
After DPC if more than
15% posts of cadre fall
vacant by December 31,
then such posts will be
considered. DPC rec-
ommendations can be
reviewed for filling and
DPC tax can be filled by
March 31 in the same
financial year.
CM approves proposal to review DPC to
fill vacancies after regular DPC
After DPC if more than 15% posts falling
vacant by December will be considered
ALL ABOUT PROPOSAL
It is noteworthy that the process of promotion starts from
April 1 in the financial year. Annual regular promotion
committee meeting is organised by June-July in most of the
departments. The DPC covers all possible vacancies for the
entire year as on April 1. Vacancies arise due to vari-
ous reasons like separation from service,
compulsory retirement, voluntary
retirement, death, non-acceptance
of promotion even after getting
regular DPC. These vacancies
can now be filled on time.

The Central Government
should discuss the issue of
Agniveer in the Parliament
and take the country into con-
fidence so that youth’s future
isn’t at stake. What if those
being trained get frustrated?
Who will be answerable then?
Jaipur: Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has
approved amendment in Rajasthan Out of
Turn Appointment to Sports Medal Win-
ners Rules, 2017. After this amendment,
officers-employees appointed in the Central
Government or any other state, who are
the original residents of Rajasthan, can be
given appointment in the state on equal pay
while protecting the pay on winning the
medal. It is noteworthy that the state gov-
ernment is continuously working towards
the upgradation of sports and sports per-
sons in the state. With this decision, medal
winning players will be able to practice
better and enhance their sports talent while
working in their home state on equal pay.

THE BENEFIT IT EXTENDS TO OFFICIALS
With the approval of this proposal by the Chief Minister,
the eligible state employees will get more opportunities for

availability of officers and employees for official work.
Jaipur: CM Ashok
Gehlot has approved
the proposal to ex-
pand the ‘Ghar-Ghar
Aushadhi’ scheme
and implement it in a
new form. With this,
intensive plantation

vision of ‘Green Ra-
jasthan-Healthy Ra-
jasthan’.
In the tree planta-
tion programme, 5
crore saplings will be
produced for the year
2022-23 at a cost of Rs
42 crore. Out of these,
provision has been
made to make 3 crore
saplings available to
public as per their de-
mand at government
nurseries at a fixed
rate on the basis of
Jan Aadhar card. If
there is a problem of
distance, it can be dis-
tributed from other
places also. At the
same time, for planta-
tion at the community
level, 10,000 gram pan-
chayats of the state
will be provided with
1 crore saplings. 1,000
saplings will be made
available every year
in each gram pan-
chayat. About 1 cr sap-
lings will be planted
annually in 200 urban
areas.

New RAS transfer list focuses on
govt’s commitment towards PSKS
Dr Rituraj Sharma
Jaipur: In the post
mortem of 27 RAS
transfers, the serious-
ness of the govern-
ment regarding the
slow progress of the
Prashasan Shehron
Ke Sang campaign, as
per the target, can be
seen. Major posts of
urban bodies or posts
related to lease distri-
bution were taken
care of in the trans-
fers. In this regard,
Rajni Singh has been
appointed on the va-
cant post of Addition-
al Commissioner of
Land Management in
Jaipur. This move is
being seen as govern-
ment’s commitment
towards the cam-
paign. Similarly, the
vacant post of Land
Management Officer
in Jodhpur has been
filled through the
transfer of Anil Ku-
mar Poonia.
F u r t h e r m o r e ,
transfer of Suresh Ku-
mar Yadav on the im-
portant post of ADM
in Bharatpur, is also
being seen as a move
in this connection.
Similarly, the transfer
of Ravindra Kumar to
JDA Jodhpur is also
being considered in
the same context
along with transfer of
Ekta Kabra to the post
of SDO in Sanganer
in Jaipur and 11
SDOs. Moreover, post-
ing of APO Manilal
Tiragar in Jaisalmer
to Assistant Commis-
sioner Colonization is
also being linked with
this.
So at the same time,
the intention of can-
celling the transfer of
Santosh Goyal from
the post of Commis-
sioner of Jaipur
Greater Municipal
Corporation is also
being taken in the
same way
.
Notably, most of
the transfers were
based on public repre-
sentatives’ opinion
performance in PSKS
drive was also a crite-
ria for transfer.
Interestingly
, Vivek
Kumar’s previous
transfer has been
changed after about 3
months. He was trans-
ferred on April 26, as
CEO, Churu Zila Pari-
shad, while he held
the same post from
Feb 11, 2013 to Oct 13,
2014. In such a situa-
tion, it was consid-
ered necessary to give
a post in view of his
seniority in 8 years.
And finally, after
about 3 months, he
has been transferred.
Now, he has been giv-
en the responsibility
of Secretary of Social
Welfare Board. The
recommendation to
appoint him as CEO
Churu was with-
drawn.
Another official,
Hemant Swaroop Ma-
thur will take over as
Zila Parishad CEO in
Ajmer. In fact,
through transfers, im-
portant posts of DS,
Addl Director Sec-
retary level in depart-
ments have been filled
as Vivek Kumar has
been appointed as
Secretary in Social
Welfare Board in
Jaipur, while Hemar-
am Yadav is appoint-
ed Secretary, Minori-
ties Commission.
Akash Ranjan has
been made DS to edu-
cation group 6 from
elementary education
while Mohammad
Salim Khan in Tour-
ism Dept SS Shek-
hawat is appointed as
Addl Director in Child
Empowerment De-
partment. Rajveer
Singh Choudhary has
been appointed Regis-
trar of Shekhawati
University, while Ra-
tan Lal Yogi became
Assistant Commis-
sioner in Devasthan
Department.

Jaipur (PTI): Direct

According to an an-
nual survey report re-
leased by Indian Direct

CM Ashok Gehlot
Notably, posting has been given to APO Akash
Tomar. Tomar was earlier posted as Additional Com-
missioner (Enforcement) in the Transport Depart-
ment and was suspended late evening on May 2,
2022, assuming prima facie guilty of issuing errone-
ous orders. Exactly 1 month later, he was re-instated
on June 2 and after 1 month and 22 days, he was
made a Special Assistant of Minister Brijendra Ola.
An order was issued for all the regional and district
transport officers under the signature of Tomar.
In this, it was said that on the number plates of
many vehicles in the state Pradhan, Sarpanch and
Gurjar are written. Also, citing rules 50 and 51 of
the Central Motor Vehicles Act 90, it was said that if
anything other than the registration number is writ-
ten on the number plate, so strict action should be
taken against such vehicles as per rules.
Amending the order issued by Tomar, in a short
time, the word Gurjar was removed but after this or-
der went viral, it was seen as tarnishing the image of
the government. At the same time, Minister Ashok
Chandna had also objected to the word Gurjar being
specifically mentioned in the order.
