Dr. Abhishek Jain, a 2002-batch IAS officer of Himachal Pradesh, was relieved of his duties as Secretary (Home & Vigilance) in March 2024. This decision came after the Election Commission of India (ECI) directed the Himachal Pradesh government to transfer the Home Secretary.
There is no official mention of the reason behind the transfer order. However, the ECI routinely transfers officials holding sensitive positions during elections to ensure impartiality.
Here’s a summary of the situation:
Abhishek Jain: 2002-batch IAS officer, Himachal Pradesh
Previous Roles: Secretary (Home & Vigilance), Secretary (Information Technology), Secretary to Chief Minister (additional charge)
Reason for Relief: Transfer order by the Election Commission of India
