Ahmedgarh, November 12, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
2024-batch IAS officer Harshita Sharma on Thursday assumed charge as Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) of Ahmedgarh. Her parents, Rajesh Sharma and Meena Sharma, and brother Dr Mukul Sharma were present on the occasion.
Sharma holds an MSc degree in Zoology from Hindu College, University of Delhi. Before her new posting, she served as Officer on Special Duty (Urban Development) in Moga.
After taking charge, she said ensuring that government welfare schemes reach every eligible beneficiary, resolving public grievances within a stipulated timeframe, and maintaining transparency and accountability in administration would be her key priorities. She also said she would visit the field to hear people’s concerns and ensure that the work of citizens visiting government offices is addressed on priority.
Sharma appealed to farmers not to burn paddy stubble or other crop residue and instead adopt modern agricultural machinery and available technologies for its proper management. She said stubble burning causes environmental pollution, affects human health and damages soil fertility.
Calling upon farmers to become protectors of the environment, she urged them to contribute towards a clean, green and pollution-free Punjab.
She assured that she would work with dedication to promote the overall development of the Ahmedgarh subdivision and provide better administrative services to residents.
