Rajasthan IAS Reshuffle: Tina Dabi Moved To Tonk, Ria Dabi Gets Key Role In CM Office

In a major bureaucratic reshuffle in Rajasthan, the state government has transferred 65 IAS officers, with sisters Tina Dabi and Ria Dabi drawing significant attention due to their new postings.

Tina Dabi has been shifted from her role as District Collector of Barmer to Tonk. During her tenure in Barmer, a border district, she earned recognition for her administrative firmness and grassroots-level governance. Her transfer to Tonk, which is considered a politically sensitive district and where Sachin Pilot holds significant influence, has sparked speculation about the move being strategic rather than routine. While officially termed a standard administrative exercise, sources suggest the transfer reflects a mix of administrative and political considerations, given Tonk’s complex social and political dynamics.

Meanwhile, Ria Dabi has been appointed as Secretary in the Chief Minister’s Office, a key position that involves direct engagement with top-level governance. The role includes monitoring policy decisions, coordinating between departments, and overseeing implementation. Her appointment is being viewed as a sign of the government’s trust, as the CM Office is central to the state’s administrative functioning.

The reshuffle also saw several other key postings. Jitendra Soni has been appointed as Director of Information and Public Relations, while Sandesh Nayak takes charge as Jaipur Collector. Gaurav Agrawal has been posted in Udaipur, Nishant Jain in Bikaner, Akshay Godara in Karauli, and Alok Ranjan in Jodhpur.

Additionally, Anupama Jorwal has been appointed in Jaisalmer, Chinmayi Gopal in Barmer, Shubham Chaudhary in Pratapgarh, and Ashish Modi in Sikar. Ankit Kumar Singh will serve in Phalodi, while Bal Mukund Asawa has been posted in Baran.
