THE JHARKHAND STORY DESK

 

Srinagar, Sept 29: The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has issued a stern directive to Nitish Rajora, an IAS officer of the AGMUT (Arunachal Pradesh-Goa-Mizoram and Union Territories) cadre, instructing him to immediately join his new posting in Ladakh by September 30, 2025. Rajora, currently serving as the Director of Information in Jammu and Kashmir, has been deemed “Stand Relieved” from the Jammu and Kashmir government as of the specified date.

Order Details and Non-Compliance Consequences

The Ministry’s order, issued by Rakesh Kumar Singh, Under Secretary to the Government of India, highlights that Rajora had been transferred to Ladakh on May 16, 2025, following an MHA directive. However, the officer had yet to be relieved from his duties in Jammu and Kashmir. As per the Guidelines for Transfer/Posting of IAS/IPS officers of AGMUT cadre, 2016, officers under transfer must be relieved within 15 days of the order, failing which they are considered “Stand Relieved.”

The MHA further emphasized that failure to comply with the transfer order could lead to severe consequences, including:

  • Stoppage of Salary
  • Issuance of a Displeasure
  • Debarment from Promotion
  • Restrictions from Central Deputation

The order specifically warns that Rajora will face disciplinary proceedings if he does not comply with the transfer to Ladakh by the given deadline.

Requests for Cancellation of Transfer Rejected

MHA’s latest communication also dismissed any attempts to cancel or suspend Rajora’s transfer, noting that no further representations on the matter would be entertained. The Ministry made it clear that no further delay or non-compliance would be tolerated, urging Rajora to assume his charge immediately in Ladakh, with a report confirming his joining to be sent to the Ministry.

Instructions to State Authorities

In line with the MHA’s directive, the Chief Secretary of Jammu and Kashmir has been instructed not to process Rajora’s salary beyond September 30, 2025. Meanwhile, the Chief Secretary of Ladakh has been asked to confirm Rajora’s joining in his new post at the earliest.

The swift action taken by the MHA is expected to set a precedent for future cases involving delayed compliance with transfer orders.
