Superintendent of Police Kundan Kanwaria ordered the dissolution of the Dausa district special team as the state prepares for upcoming panchayat elections, with eight officers remaining on duty.
Dausa district in Rajasthan saw a significant police reshuffle just days before the scheduled panchayat elections. Superintendent of Police Kundan Kanwaria announced that the district's special team, formed earlier to handle law‑and‑order challenges, would be formally disbanded.
The decision, communicated to senior officials on the morning of the announcement, aims to streamline the police hierarchy and avoid any perception of partisan deployment during the sensitive election period. By dissolving the unit, the SP intends to ensure that regular police formations manage security without special arrangements that could be misconstrued.
Eight police personnel have been retained on active duty to maintain a visible presence on the streets and respond to any incidents that may arise during the voting process. These officers will operate under the standard district command structure, providing continuity while the special team is stood down.
Local authorities have not disclosed any further operational changes, stating that the police will continue to monitor the situation closely and take necessary action to safeguard a peaceful electoral environment.
