MP: IAS officer Rajeev Sharma takes VRS

IAS officer Rajeev Sharma (IAS:2003:MP) has opted for voluntary retirement (VRS) from his post. He had been serving as Commissioner in Shahdol district in the state since April 2021. Although he submitted his VRS application about a month ago, he officially disclosed this decision on Tuesday while speaking to the media.

Amidst these developments, there have been speculations in political circles that Sharma, a resident of Bhind district, may contest in the upcoming assembly elections from his home assembly constituency in Bhind district. However, the officer refuted these election-related speculations, stating that his VRS decision was unrelated to the forthcoming assembly polls.
