‘E-Office': Delhi CM's office goes paperless, other depts to follow
To set a benchmark for other departments to follow, Gupta said, she has transformed her office into an e-Office. She added that the shift to an e-Office platform, replacing traditional paper files with digital formats has made the workflow fully modern and streamlined.
The e-Office platform has been developed by the National Informatics Centre (NIC).
The officials and staff at all levels have also been provided training to implement digitalisation in government offices, the CM said.
'We are working in alignment with the vision of the Central Government and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This system ensures accountability and provides real-time updates on how long files are pending with any officer or department,' she added.
Out of the Delhi government's 199 departments, the CM said, 119 are now fully operational on e-Office, up from 22 percent in June to nearly 60%.
During the same period, the number of digital files used by these departments exceeded 1.18 lakh, marking a growth of over 250 percent compared to June.
'The e-Office system has not only significantly reduced paper consumption but has also made decision-making faster and more transparent. Government officials and staff in Delhi are now benefiting from digital file tracking, quicker approvals, and immediate implementation of decisions,' the CM said.
Gupta added that the Delhi Assembly is completely paperless, and the upcoming Monsoon Session will also be completely digitised. The e-Vidhan system will be launched officially on Sunday.

CM Siddaramaiah urges PM Modi to allocate more funding to Karnataka
Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, on Sunday, appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to give precedence to Karnataka in terms of allocation of funds. He spoke after inaugurating the Yellow Line of the Metro project, laying the foundation stone for the third phase of Metro project in Bengaluru. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah turning towards Prime Minister Modi reiterated, "I make this request to Prime Minister, that the priority has to be given to Karnataka, like how Maharashtra and Gujarat are given." Asking the dignitaries on the stage why they are laughing over his statement, the Chief Minister said that he is only requesting for additional assistance to Karnataka from the Central government. Talking about the Metro project in Bengaluru city, CM Siddaramaiah added, "The state government is providing 87.37 per cent of the funds for the Metro project, while the Central government's share is only 12.63 per cent." The Central government's partnership has also contributed to the implementation of the Bengaluru Metro project, he said. "The Central government provides financial and technical assistance for the Metro project. The state government has contributed Rs 25,387 crore for phases 1, 2, 2A, 2B, and 3 of the Metro project. In addition, an extra Rs 3,987 crore has been provided as loan repayment assistance. So far, Rs 59,139 crore has been allocated for the Metro projects. The state government's responsibility is 87.37 per cent, while the Central government's contribution from its treasury is only 12.63 per cent. The Central government has provided only Rs 7,468.86 crore," he added. "It was agreed that the Karnataka government and Central government would invest on a 50:50 basis. However, funds from the Central government have come mostly as loans, which the state government and Metro authorities must repay with interest. This has placed a burden of 87.37 per cent on the state," the Chief Minister said. Improving connectivity and making Bengaluru a global attractive city is a major step for us all to be proud of, he added. "With the inauguration of the Yellow Line, Bengaluru Metro now has a total operational length of 96.1 km, making it the longest Metro network in South India. This is a proud moment for every Kannadiga and proof of our commitment to development," CM Siddaramaiah said. He requested the Central government to provide more funds for Bengaluru's development and the nation's progress. There is mutual cooperation between the Central and state governments to provide better facilities to citizens, and he (PM Modi) expressed confidence that this partnership will grow stronger, the CM said. "The newly inaugurated Yellow Line, costing Rs 7,160 crore, connects key IT and technology hubs in Bengaluru, providing safe and fast travel for thousands of professionals, employees, and students. It is expected to serve nearly 3.5 lakh commuters daily. This is expected to greatly improve the severe traffic problems around Central Silk Board and Jayadeva Hospital," he added. "The Yellow Line also connects major biotech and IT hubs and provides easy access to important hospitals and industrial areas. The double-decker flyover constructed with state government funding from Ragigudda to Central Silk Board will improve traffic flow at one of Bengaluru's busiest junctions. This is an example of the state government's efforts to find solutions to Bengaluru's traffic issues," CM Siddaramaiah said. "Increasing urbanisation and population put tremendous pressure on city roads. Nearly nine lakh passengers use Bengaluru Metro services daily. With the addition of the Yellow Line, the number of commuters is expected to exceed 12.5 lakh," he added. "There is still a long way to go on the Bengaluru Metro route. With the operation of the second phase of the project, we will have a total of 117 km of Metro connectivity, allowing 15 lakh people to travel by Metro daily," CM Siddaramaiah said. "Phase 2A and 2B, which includes a 58 km route connecting Outer Ring Road and the airport at a cost of Rs 15,131 crore, will be completed by December 2027. This route will connect the international airport to Bengaluru city," he added. "Phase 3, a 44.65 km route costing Rs 15,611 crore, will further improve Bengaluru's connectivity. Civil work for this has started recently," he stressed. "Feasibility studies are underway for Phase 4, which involves constructing a 53 km double-decker-cum-Metro route," he said. "By 2030, the goal is to complete 220 km of metro routes in Bengaluru city, providing infrastructure for 30 lakh daily commuters," he emphasised. Private organisations such as Infosys Foundation, Biocon, and Delta Electronics have partnered in constructing Metro stations, he said. He (PM Modi) expressed confidence that public-private partnerships will strengthen Bengaluru's development efforts in the future, he added. "Karnataka contributes 35-40 per cent to the country's IT exports, with Bengaluru's share being significant. The state also accounts for more than 40 per cent of electronics and R&D exports. In this context, the government has formulated projects worth more than Rs 1.35 lakh crore, allocating resources to develop Bengaluru as a model city. Several projects are already underway," CM Siddaramaiah said. He appealed to the Central government to join hands in Bengaluru's development, which significantly contributes to the nation's economy.

Delhi deluge: AAP's 'mismanagement by 4-engine government' jab draws BJP's ire
Yesterday was just the day the Aam Aadmi Party was waiting for. Heavy rain in Delhi on Saturday led to the deaths of eight people in two separate incidents, waterlogging across several key areas and the disruption of water supply after the Giri Nagar pumping station in Kalkaji was flooded. The deluge, which turned parts of the city into an impassable mess, sparked a bitter political clash between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).advertisementLeader of the Opposition and former Chief Minister Atishi attacked the BJP-led Delhi government and said that the flooding of the Giri Nagar pumping station led to a major water crisis, affecting thousands of residents in Kalkaji, Giri Nagar, Govindpuri and Govindpuri Extension.'Mismanagement by the four-engine BJP govt has not only submerged Delhi roads, but caused a water crisis in Kalkaji. The Giri Nagar pumping station is completely submerged. And the people of Giri Nagar, Kalkaji, Govindpuri and Govindpuri Extn are facing several days of water crisis,' she said in a post on X, along with a copy of her letter to Chief Minister Rekha Gupta. On Raksha Bandhan, Atishi lamented, 'On Raksha Bandhan, the entire city is submerged. People cannot step out of their homes. The collapse of governance under (Chief Minister) Rekha Gupta's government is preventing brothers from meeting their sisters.'During a press conference on Saturday, AAP Delhi president Saurabh Bhardwaj raised questions about the transparency of desilting operations in Delhi. He revealed that despite repeated requests, the Delhi government failed to provide an audit report on desilting, as ordered by the Delhi High said he had warned Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta about the risk of opening manholes during rains. Bhardwaj also mentioned that he had written to Delhi Chief Secretary Naresh Kumar but received no further investigate, Bhardwaj filed an RTI request, seeking records of the Chief Secretary's actions regarding the audit. The RTI response revealed that no records were found for the 2024 desilting audit, prompting Bhardwaj to accuse the government of deleting records to conceal corruption.'This shows the government is trying to hide information,' Bharadwaj also took a jab at BJP MP Parvesh Verma, saying, "It seems Parvesh doesn't have a watch. Someone please give him one," criticising Verma for inspecting flood-affected areas only after the rain had response, Public Works Department (PWD) Minister Parvesh Sahib Singh shared videos comparing waterlogged areas during the AAP's 11-year tenure with clips showing the same spots now free of stagnant water, aiming to highlight the BJP government's videos on X earlier in the day, Singh showcased areas such as Nigambodh Ghat, Minto Bridge, Mahipalpur and Saket, locations previously prone to waterlogging each monsoon, now clear of flooding, with traffic flowing smoothly.'This change didn't happen by chance,' Singh remarked in Hindi, adding, 'Our government has been working tirelessly to eliminate waterlogging and restore the city, which was neglected under AAP.' The Minister reiterated that while his department is addressing waterlogging, it cannot reverse "11 years of neglect" by the AAP downpour, which led to flooding, began late Friday night, prompting the India Meteorological Department (IMD) to issue escalating weather alerts. By early Saturday, the IMD upgraded warnings from yellow to orange and finally to a red alert by 6:20 8:30 am, Safdarjung had recorded 78.7 mm of rainfall in the past 24 hours, while Pragati Maidan logged 100.3 mm.
