Shahdol (Madhya Pradesh), October 4
An Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer of Madhya Pradesh cadre batch 2003 has taken voluntary retirement (VRS, Voluntary Retirement Scheme) from his post ahead of the state assembly polls slated later this year.
The IAS officer, Rajeev Sharma applied for the VRS around a month ago; however, he told ANI about taking voluntary retirement on Tuesday. Sharma was serving as Commissioner in Shahdol district in the state since April 2021.
Meanwhile, speculations are going on in the political corridors that Sharma, a resident of Bhind district, is likely to contest in the forthcoming assembly elections from his home assembly constituency in Bhind district.
Nonetheless, the officer denied the election speculations saying his VRS had nothing to do with the upcoming assembly polls.
