Ensure timely Sakala resolution or face salary deductions, Kalaburagi officers told
Deputy Commissioner B. Fouzia Taranum has issued a stern warning to government officers that any delay in resolving applications under the Sakala scheme will result in penalties, including salary deductions, for those responsible. Chairing a progress review meeting at her office in Kalaburagi on Wednesday, Ms. Taranum assessed the status of applications under various public service platforms, including Sakala, IGRS, CM Janaspandana, CCMS and Kalaburagi Connect. She emphasised that the Sakala Services Act 2011 was introduced to ensure timely delivery of services to citizens, guided by the motto: 'No more delays, no excuses — deliver on the promised date'. She reminded officials that Sakala is a flagship initiative of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Chief Secretary Shalini Rajneesh and it must be implemented with full seriousness. 'As on date, 328 applications across departments, including 98 pending with the Kalaburagi City Corporation, remain unresolved. The officials concerned must clear all pending applications through their departmental logins and bring the backlog to zero. Under Sakala, applications must be resolved within 30 days. If services are not delivered within this timeframe, disciplinary action will be taken, including halting salary increments,' she said, directing the officials to write to Sakala Mission Directorate in cases where technical issues are causing delays. The Deputy Commissioner also directed Additional Deputy Commissioner Rayappa Hunasagi to issue notices if pending applications under the IGRS platform are not cleared by Friday. She further instructed that the 95 pending applications under the Kalaburagi Connect initiative, a pet project of district in-charge Minister Priyank Kharge, be resolved immediately. Regarding the Court Case Monitoring System (CCMS), she noted that 1,203 cases involving various departments are pending in courts across the district. She directed departments to act swiftly, appoint litigation conducting officers as soon as writ petitions or appeals are filed, consult government advocates and ensure departmental arguments are presented effectively. 'Departments must also act on court verdicts promptly and report compliance to their respective heads,' she added. The meeting was attended by City Corporation Commissioner Avinash Shinde, Superintendent of Police Adduru Srinivasulu and other senior district-level officials from various departments.

‘CM Dashboard' launched by Siddaramaiah for development monitoring in Karnataka
The Chief Minister's Dashboard (CM Dashboard), a platform that provides real-time, integrated insights into key development indicators across Karnataka, was launched on Friday. It was launched by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah during the review meeting with the Deputy Commissioners of all districts and CEOs of all zilla panchayats at the State Secretariat here. The dashboard, developed in-house by the Centre for e-Governance (CeG), is now functionally complete and hosted under the domain 'This platform provides real-time, integrated insights into key development indicators across Karnataka, enabling data-driven governance and decision-making at the highest level,' an official release said. Integrated system The dashboard is built using a microservices-based architecture, ensuring scalability and ease of integration. The data is integrated via APIs (application programming interface) from various departments, eliminating manual entry, said the release. The dashboard categorises State performance data into four primary sectors: economic growth (e.g., investments and beneficiaries), legal/judiciary management (RTI and Sakala case disposals), infrastructure development (roads, irrigation, and renewable energy), and citizen-centric governance (guarantee schemes and Janaspandana). The Chief Minister, during the launch, told respective officials to remain in the taluk and district headquarters to address the grievances of the public. The district in-charge Secretaries were instructed to visit their respective districts twice a month for review of development works. He also told them to pay surprise visits to schools, hostels, and hospitals and submit reports to the Chief Secretary. Referring to Indira Canteens, the Chief Minister instructed the Deputy Commissioners to commence delivery of food at all canteens which have buildings within a week. Out of 186 new Indira Canteens, construction of 103 had been completed. Food is being delivered at only 43 canteens. On farmer suicides The Chief Minister reviewed the district-wise data of farmer suicides and took to task officials for the delay in the release of compensation in 13 cases. Dissatisfied with the delay in the recovery of encroached tank-bed areas, the Chief Minister told officials to undertake the survey work immediately and recover the encroached tank-bed areas. Out of 10,931 encroached tanks, officials have recovered 6,065 tank- bed areas.
