Indore launches spl drive to clear pending revenue cases
Collector Asheesh Singh announced the initiative on Monday during a review meeting on time-limit (TL) cases and CM Helpline applications.
Under this drive, if a case remains unresolved by the deadline, applicants who report it will receive a Rs 5,000 reward. This amount will be recovered from the concerned revenue officer's salary, ensuring strict accountability. Singh emphasised that this mechanism aims to foster timely action and responsibility among officials.
The campaign will employ AI-based cameras to monitor the timely presence of officials in revenue courts, promoting transparency and discipline. Collector Singh stated that this initiative is not just about clearing backlogs but also about setting new standards for administrative accountability.
The step came in light of a farmer consuming 'toilet cleaner' in an ADM's cabin during the last weekly public hearing and dying as his around 2.25 bigha land was allegedly encroached and his application was reportedly not heard by the officials concerned.
Following a probe, the then Naib Tehsildar, Patwari, and a clerk were suspended. Besides, a departmental inquiry was ordered against them, along with a revenue inspector.
During the meeting, Collector Singh also reviewed CM Helpline applications, urging swift and positive resolution, especially for cases pending over 50 days. He also assessed the progress of the proposed transfer of the Cantonment Grain Market.

Blue plaques go missing from 3 heritage structures
1 2 Kolkata: Blue plaques, installed by KMC to indicate the heritage status of old structures in the city, have gone missing from three Grade I structures — two temples and a chapel — in the past month. The thefts were reported a month ago from Circular Road Baptist Chapel on AJC Bose Road near Nonapukur, Sabarna Roy Choudhury family's Dwadash Mandir and Sanjher Atchala temple—both in Behala—within five months of the plaques being installed at the heritage structures. KMC officials suspect drug addicts, selling metals for money, might have stolen the plaques. "We were informed about the thefts last month, and our team inspected the heritage sites and found the plaques indeed missing. We suspect that drug addicts might have stolen them," a senior official of KMC's heritage department told TOI. "We have informed police about the missing blue plaques." Circular Road Baptist Chapel founded in 1821 is in Ward 61. The heritage properties of the Sabarna Roy Choudhury family are on Sabarna Para Road in KMC's ward 126.

Bikaner man held for faking his death to claim Rs 50L insurance
1 2 Jaipur: A 29-year-old male nurse who faked his death to claim a Rs 50 lakh life insurance policy was arrested in Bikaner after police uncovered forged documents, including a fabricated cremation receipt. Sub-Inspector Devendra Soni of Jai Narayan Vyas Colony police station told TOI that the accused, identified as Mangilal Jiyani, a resident of Sriganganagar district, worked as a day care provider. He was arrested Saturday following a probe triggered by the insurance company's suspicion over irregularities in his claim file. According to Soni, Jiyani purchased a term life insurance policy worth Rs 50 lakh on Aug 9, 2023, paying a monthly premium of Rs 1,221. After just two instalments, he was declared dead of a heart attack on Oct 14, 2023, and a claim was filed in his name. The company flagged the case after noticing the unusually short payment history. Investigations revealed that Jiyani's associate opened a fake bank account to receive the payout and was listed as the policy nominee. To support the claim, the associate presented a forged death certificate and a fabricated cremation receipt. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The latter was allegedly used to secure a false death certificate from the Bikaner Municipal Corporation. Soni said Jiyani went underground after the claim was filed, but investigators continued to pursue the case. "The insurance company suspected that there were contradictions and a lot of inconsistencies in documents submitted to prove his death and suspected that he was still alive," he said. The insurance company denied his insurance claim and began looking into his documents. Police said the fraud came to light after the insurance company's legal officer lodged a complaint on Aug 22, 2024. The inquiry established that Jiyani fabricated documents and staged his death, while his friend attempted to encash the policy. Police are now investigating the involvement of others in the conspiracy and how the fake documents were procured. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
