The odd part

Agile Governance at its best: The state ensures no officer stays in a post long enough to actually locate the files requested by the Anti-Corruption Bureau.

What happened

The Rajasthan government executed a major bureaucratic reshuffle, transferring 25 IAS officers in a single night. This 'Musical Chairs' approach to governance ensures that by the time an officer finds the office bathroom, they are already being packed off to a different district. The move is hailed as a breakthrough in 'Anti-Familiarity' policy, ensuring that public servants and the public remain perfect strangers forever.
