Good to see focus on strengthening the Anti-Narcotics Task Force. The drug problem in our cities is getting out of hand. Hope DIG Abhijit Singh and the new team make a real impact. 🙏

Transfers are a routine administrative exercise, but doing 64 officers at once, that too late on a Friday night, raises questions. Is this about governance or political convenience? The public deserves transparency.

Appreciate the appointments of officers like Dr. Amrita Duhan and Monika Sen. Having more women in key SP positions across districts like Udaipur and Pali is a positive step for inclusive policing.

The real test is on the ground. A new SP in my district, Karauli, is welcome, but will it lead to better law & order and faster response times? We've seen many transfers with little change. Action speaks louder than orders.

Good move to post a dedicated SP for Cyber Crime in Jaipur. Online frauds are skyrocketing. Hope Sumit Mehrada has the technical expertise and resources to handle this modern challenge.
