Rajasthan CM Cracks Down on Negligence and Crime

UdaipurTimes, Oct 14, 2026 - Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma has taken action under the policy of zero tolerance towards crime in response to recent criminal incidents in the State and cases of negligence and improper conduct by certain police personnel. Expressing strong displeasure over these incidents, he directed that the concerned police officers and personnel be removed from their posts immediately and strict disciplinary action be initiated against them as per rules, according to a government press release.

The Chief Minister issued strict instructions to the police officers present at the meeting, including the Director General of Police Rajeev Kumar Sharma during a high-level review of law and order on Tuesday, October 13. Rajasthan has traditionally been a peaceful State, but its image had been adversely affected during the previous government’s tenure, the CM said. He added that this dignity had been restored under the present government and, therefore, zero tolerance towards crime must be ensured under all circumstances.

The Chief Minister directed that a detailed district-wise list of disputes related to mining and land be prepared and that an effective action plan be drawn up to resolve them.

In view of the upcoming festive season, CM Sharma told the authorities to ensure proper law and order and traffic management. For women’s safety, he said that Kalika patrolling units be operated smoothly and systematically and that interactions between these units and students in schools and colleges be ensured to help prevent crimes against women effectively.
