Intimate tour programmes to public in advance: CM to officials
Bengaluru: 'DC and CEOs should make their tour programs available to the public in advance. Inspection reports should be kept in proper records. Schools, hostels, residential schools should be visited regularly in the district to ensure that they are functioning properly. I have repeatedly instructed that such visits should be conducted every month without prior notice'.
'However, I have received reports that some have not followed this. It is your responsibility to ensure that the departments and officers under your jurisdiction function properly. If you do not work efficiently, how can you expect your subordinate officers to work?', queried Siddaramaiah.
The exploited, the poor, the common people usually come to the office of the DC. If you do not listen to their problems, who will solve them? To whom should they tell their problems? All officers should be required to live in the taluk and district headquarters. All officers should be available at the centre and available to the people. The DC should ensure this. I should be given a report on the action taken against officers who are not at the centre.
The District In-charge Secretaries should visit their respective districts at least twice a month and inspect the development works. Along with that, they should make surprise visits to schools, hostels, hospitals and submit a report to the Chief Secretary, instructed the CM.'No one should act against the intentions and objectives of the Constitution. Such forces should not be allowed to grow under any circumstances. In recent times, such forces have been rising, and such forces should be nipped in the bud. Whoever such people are, it is the responsibility of the DCs, CEOs and SPs to ensure that such forces do not grow', the Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said vehemently.
On 10 October 1949, the Constitution Implementation Meeting discussed whether the Indian Civil Service was needed and decided to create the IAS. In that meeting, Vallabhbhai Patel said, 'To lead the country in the spirit of real freedom struggles, there should be IAS service, you should understand its real concern social justice.
We are running the government with the tax money of the people. We should not forget that we and you are enjoying all the privileges with the tax money of the people. We have given all the privileges including cars and houses with tax money. Therefore, we should work with a pro-people attitude. This is the basic idea of democracy.
This year, 700 child marriages have taken place, incidents of becoming mothers in childhood have also been reported. FIRs have also been filed in many places about this. It has come to my attention that it has not been recorded. How is it that 700 child marriages are taking place even after so many years of independence? There are laws and regulations to prevent child marriage. However, they have not been used effectively in some places. Isn't this wrong, he asked.
Why does child marriage not come to the notice of the DC? Don't your subordinates report to you? If your subordinates do not tell you, it means that you are not efficient. You have no control over the officials, it means that they are not afraid of you', he said.
He added, '295176 applications have been submitted for forest rights, of which only 16700 forest rights have been provided. This should be disposed of properly.
Cases should be disposed of properly in the DC, Tahsildar, AC courts. Decisions should be made on merit. There should be no tendency to postpone cases'.

Bharat Mata portrait row triggers protests; CPM mouthpiece slams guv
Thiruvananthapuram/Kozhikode: The Bharat Mata portrait row involving governor Rajendra V Arlekar and the state govt intensified on Saturday, with protests erupting across various parts of the state and CPM's mouthpiece Deshabhimani publishing a hard-hitting editorial against Raj Bhavan. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now In a strongly worded editorial, Deshabhimani asserted that Raj Bhavan is not a "shakha" (unit) of RSS. It accused the governor of publicly challenging the Constitution by turning Raj Bhavan into a venue to display and propagate RSS ideology. How else could this act be described, if not as a blatant violation of constitutional norms, it asked. According to the latest photos released by Raj Bhavan, the governor paid floral tributes to the portrait during the Yoga Day celebrations held there on Saturday. Raj Bhavan also dismissed reports that its security would be handed over to the central forces due to threats from opposition youth organisations. "The governor has total faith in the commitment to duty and efficiency of Kerala police in the discharge of their responsibility. ...," a statement from Raj Bhavan said. CITU took out a protest march to Raj Bhavan, accusing the governor of attempting to turn it into a centre of RSS activity and violating the Constitution. SFI raised a banner in front of the Sanskrit College in Palayam, declaring that "Raj Bhavan is not RSS's ancestral property". In Kozhikode, a protest by Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) against general education minister V Sivankutty, who had walked out of an event at Raj Bhavan over the portrait, ended in a clash with SFI workers. The BJYM workers staged the protest when the minister arrived at Jubilee Hall to attend an event organised in connection with the upcoming SFI national conference in the city. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now As the minister arrived, Yuva Morcha workers waved black flags. However, a group of SFI workers present at the venue tried to stop them, leading to the clash. Police intervened and took the protesters into custody. Sivankutty later alleged that the RSS faction controlling Raj Bhavan had orchestrated the demonstrations against him in Kozhikode. In protest against the police action, BJP workers staged a demonstration near the venue at Tali Temple. They burnt an effigy of Sivankutty and alleged that police personnel deployed in the area were aiding SFI workers in unleashing violence against BJYM activists. BJP district president Prakash Babu warned that the party would continue its protest if the police failed to take appropriate action against the SFI workers who, he claimed, attacked Yuva Morcha activists in custody. Meanwhile, BJP workers paid floral tributes to portraits of Bharat Mata, similar to the one placed in Raj Bhavan, at various district centres as a mark of protest against the LDF govt's stand on the issue.

Patil writes to CM on mining scams, BJP questions timing
Bengaluru/Raichur: Law minister HK Patil has written a detailed letter to chief minister Siddaramaiah expressing deep concern over the govt's failure to act on thousands of illegal mining cases that allegedly led to a loss of Rs 1.5 lakh crore between 2007 and 2011. In a seven-page letter dated June 18, Patil criticised the "administrative apathy" in handling these cases and called for stern action against the culprits and recovery of lost public wealth. He reminded Siddaramaiah of the 320-km foot march to Ballari in 2010 against illegal mining when the Congress was in opposition. Patil, who headed the cabinet sub-committee on illegal mining during Siddaramaiah's previous term (2013–18), noted in the letter that only 7.6% of more than 12,000 registered illegal mining cases have been investigated so far. "In just 2 per cent of these seven per cent, which means in only 0.2 per cent of the total number of cases, verdicts have come and cases have seen a conclusion," he further added. In Raichur, Patil on Saturday said, "I have brought it to the notice of the CM about what has to be done. The letter is written in the interest of the state and its people. The chief minister has seen the letter and has taken the matter seriously." He also warned that documents related to these illegalities should not be destroyed and called for vigilance. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Suggesting fresh measures, he proposed appointing a recovery commissioner under the Criminal Law Amendment Ordinance, 1946, creation of a new SIT, and a special court for speedy trial. BJP MP Lahar Singh Siroya questioned the timing. "I am happy that law minister wrote a seven-page letter to CM, reminding him of the commitment he had made to recover the iron ore scam money... I wonder why Patil took so long to remind his CM on the unrecovered funds. Timing is everything in politics."
