Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has warned officials against making citizens go from one office to another for their work.
“I will not tolerate officials making people run around. Making citizens go from office to office is unacceptable,” he said while addressing officials at the Karnataka Development Programme (KDP) meeting in Mysuru on Monday (November 10).
“You have assumed your posts to serve the public. Do not make people run around,” he warned.
Recalling that he had already instructed officials not to remain at the district level and instead stay at the taluk level and listen to people’s grievances, Mr. Siddaramaiah directed Deputy Commissioner G. Lakshmikant Reddy to submit a report to him on the officials who have not followed the instruction.
The Chief Minister said many people from Mysuru travel all the way to Bengaluru to meet him. “If I am not there, they stay till night. Most do not come with personal issues; they come with revenue-related problems. If district-level officials had resolved these matters in Mysuru, citizens would not need to travel to Bengaluru,” he said, before cautioning officials that he will not tolerate the practice of making people wander from one place to another.
