Rajasthans Women Safer? Unpacking The Latest Crime Data Under CM Bhajanlal Sharma
According to official records, the state's crime rate has declined from 490 incidents per lakh population to 370 per lakh, marking a sharp reduction in overall crime. Even more striking is the 924% drop in crimes against women, a category often considered a benchmark of social security and governance sensitivity.
The government's multipronged approach includes strengthening police infrastructure, setting up Women Help Desks at every police station, introducing Rapid Response Units, and deploying technology-backed surveillance tools. Additionally, digital case tracking and mandatory daily reporting at the district level have helped bring more accountability into the system.
Initiatives like "No Violence Weekends," safety education in schools, and digital public awareness campaigns have played a vital role in engaging local communities. Law enforcement officers, under the direct supervision of the CM's office, are carrying out regular field inspections and ensuring that complaints are resolved without delay.
High-crime pockets in urban and peri-urban zones traditionally considered difficult to police have also seen targeted action. Anti-narcotics drives, gang clean-ups, and the dismantling of local criminal networks have contributed to a safer public environment.
What makes this development particularly noteworthy is that it has come not through aggressive policing but through strategic resource deployment, better training, and closer integration between police and citizen bodies. The CM's administration has actively used both enforcement and engagement as tools for creating impact.
Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma, while addressing the media, reiterated, 'Our focus is not only to reduce crime statistically, but to build a society where every citizen, especially our daughters and sisters, feels genuinely safe.'
The results position Rajasthan not just as a governance model in infrastructure or welfare delivery, but also in ensuring rule of law and public safety.

CM orders mandatory retirement for nine police inspectors
Jaipur: Chief minister Bhajan Lal Sharma Wednesday ordered the mandatory retirement of nine police inspectors from the home department, in what was deemed as the govt's strict stance against "incompetence, indolence, and unsatisfactory performance" of state govt employees. Sharma also allowed initiation of proceedings under Rule 8 of the All-India Services (Discipline and Appeal) Rules 1969 against a Rajasthan cadre IAS officer in connection with a serious case of illegal land allocation. He also resolved old cases pertaining to retired officers, deciding to withhold pensions of five persons under the pension rules, ordering that 100% pension be withheld in the case of one officer convicted in a corruption case. Reviewing 37 cases of pending disciplinary action and prosecution approval, Sharma ordered action against 55 officers who are under investigation. He also approved investigation findings of certified charges against 14 retired officers. Among other actions, Sharma granted prosecution sanction against six officers and permitted detailed investigation under various sections of the Prevention of Corruption (Amendment) Act 2018 against two officers of the Rajasthan Administrative and Accounts Service. Thirteen serving officers were also slapped with orders to withhold annual salary increments pending departmental investigations.

2 pilots grounded after flight carrying CM lands at wrong runway in Rajasthan
JAIPUR: A chartered flight carrying Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma from Delhi to Phalodi mistakenly landed on the wrong runway on July 31, 2025. The Falcon-2000 aircraft was scheduled to land at the Indian Air Force Station in Phalodi, but due to pilot error, it instead touched down on the civil airstrip in Phalodi town. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has launched an inquiry into the incident and grounded both pilots pending investigation. The incident occurred around 3 pm, shortly after the Chief Minister's departure from Delhi. The aircraft was meant to land at a military airbase located in a restricted zone, but the pilots mistakenly approached the nearby civil airstrip, about five kilometers away. Realising the error immediately after landing, they took off again and redirected the plane to the designated airbase. While the situation did not lead to any major mishap, it has raised serious concerns about aviation safety and procedural lapses. According to DGCA sources, the confusion likely stemmed from the similar geographical orientation and layout of the two airstrips. Both the civil and military runways in Phalodi share striking structural similarities, which may have led to the misjudgment.
