Sullia, October 14: Chief minister Sadananda Gowda is all set to adopt the transparency mantra of Kerala chief minister Oommen Chandy, who installed closed circuit cameras in his offices at the Secretariat and residence in Thiruvananthaparum providing 24x7 access to people through internet to know what is happening in the CM's office.

Like Kerala chief minister, he will also install cameras in his offices at Vidhan Soudha and residence in Bangalore. The live video footage from the cameras will be uploaded to his personal website, which can be viewed by citizens any time. "People can see who visits my office by browsing the website, which will be launched soon. Everything will be transparent," Gowda said at a civic reception programme held at Shri Chennakeshava temple here on Wednesday.

He declared that there will be no transfer of officials, except IAS and IPS officers, till April 2012. But those found failing to discharge their duties will be transferred as a part of departmental action. "People need not come to my office with request for transfers of officials since I have already decided not to entertain it," he asserted.

Bureaucrats in the state will be made more duty bound by introducing a citizens' charter system. "If a file is found pending in an office for more than 15 days, then the official will be taken to task for the delay. The errant official will be fined and the amount will be given to the complainants, who suffered losses due to delay in the disposal of files," Gowda said adding that draft rules in this regard will be tabled in the cabinet soon.

He also has issued circulars directing DCs, zilla panchayat CEOs and tahsildars to conduct field visits to ensure transparent administration. "DCs and CEOs must visit taluk panchayats once a week to monitor the progress of file disposal," he added.

Mangaluru, May 7: The Dakshina Kannada District Muslim Okkoota has strongly condemned permit for opening of textile and footwear shops across the district at a time when the number of Covid-19 positive cases are on the rise.

In a press note here on Thursday, former Mayor and Okoota President Ashraf alleged that the permission to open the shops at a time when Eid-ul-Fitr was nearing would lead to rush in the shops in turn bringing in fear of spread of Covid-19. 

He expressed his resentment over the fact that the administration has neglected the appeal made by the Okkoota as well as the Qazi of Udupi against permitting textile shops during the lockdown period.

He warned that the administration, district in-charge Minister, MLA and MP themselves will be responsible in case of increased infection cases due to this decision.

The district in-charge minister Kota Srinivas Poojary yesterday had announced that textile shops in the district can be opened from May 7.

Udupi, May 18: G Jagadeesh, Deputy Commissioner of Udupi today warned that criminal cases would be filed, if people under quarantine roam around, as they put the lives of others in risk, by coming out.

He said: "There are more than 6,000 people under quarantine in hotels, hostels, schools etc in different parts of the district. They include those who returned from other countries and other states.”

“We have allowed them to return to the district. Now I am receiving complaints that many of them are violating quarantine guidelines and venturing out. This is unacceptable.”

“As it is a risk to the whole society, severe action will be taken against the neglect and apathy of the persons under quarantine,” he said.
