The Maharashtra government on Wednesday appointed five senior IAS officers to monitor and oversee the implementation of development plans for five major Jyotirling pilgrimage sites of the state. According to officials, the appointments were made as per the directions of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and the move is aimed at ensuring time-bound and high-quality execution of the Jyotirlinga development projects at Bhimashankar (Pune), Grishneshwar (Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar), Trimbakeshwar (Nashik), Aundha Nagnath (Hingoli), and Parli Vaijnath (Beed).

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.
