TN launches SimpleGov to fast-track certificates, NOCs
Chennai: Want to start a hotel, open a hostel, or just get a passport as a govt employee? You no longer have to run across departments. The Tamil Nadu govt has launched SimpleGov — a digitised, self-declaration-based system to issue key certificates and NOCs in a day, skipping months of red tape. The initial rollout covers ten services — including sanitation certificates, public building licences, registration for old age homes, hostels for working women and women's homes, solvency certificates, white category industries list, NOCs for converting wetlands to non-agricultural use, good conduct certificates, and NOCs for govt staff applying for passports. The services were launched by Chief Minister M K Stalin, and the govt plans to add 150 services to this soon. Until now, several of these services required physical documents, in-person inspections, and long processing times — often stretching from several weeks to more than a year. With SimpleGov, most services will be delivered within a day, using digital KYC, QR codes, automated workflows, and self-declaration forms. PWC Davidar, advisor, SimpleGov, said one of the most important reforms was NOCs for govt employees applying for passports. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Magic Quadrant for Strategic Cloud Platform Services - Google Cloud: Future of Infrastructure CIO | Google Cloud, AMD Undo "The Secretariat clears about 500 passport NOCs for officials every week, the highest being from the school education department. We've now amended procedures so officials just need to upload a prior intimation letter on the IFHRMS portal. They can proceed with their passport applications without a formal NOC," he said. Getting sanitation certificates — a key requirement for businesses such as hotels and resorts — has also been made simpler. "Earlier, paperwork for these certificates crossed at least 30 tables without any value addition and took a month. Now, applicants can upload a self-declaration on cleanliness, working toilets, and no mosquito breeding on the e-governance portal. They will get an automated certificate immediately. But there will be provisions for public health officials to inspect at any time," Davidar said. Tamil Nadu e-Governance Agency (TNeGA) director M Govinda Rao said that SimpleGov services have been integrated into both departmental portals and the TNeGA platform. "It's being improved regularly," he said. A high-level committee will monitor the rollout.

Panchkula mass suicide: Mittals first went to Sec 12 bhawan to execute plan
1 2 Panchkula: Police investigations into Panchkula mass suicide case have revealed that the Mittal family may have initially planned to end their lives at Dr B R Ambedkar Bhawan in Sector 12-A before ultimately choosing Sector 27 as their final location. Analysis of CCTV footage showed that after departing from their Saketri residence on Monday morning, the family checked into two rooms at Ambedkar Bhawan. "We suspect their original intention was to end their lives at the bhawan, but circumstances led them to alter their plans. They departed from the premises at 6.35 pm," a police official confirmed. "Contrary to earlier reports, they did not attend any religious gathering in Sector 5. They proceeded directly to Sector 27, where they parked their vehicle in a residential area before taking the fatal step," the official said. Police teams have been deployed to various locations in Dehradun and Panchkula for investigation. "Although initial evidence suggests no foul play, we are investigating his activities over the past six months to one year," another official noted. While postmortem examinations indicate simultaneous deaths, the viscera report remains pending to determine the exact cause.

Given the limited information from family members about their recent circumstances, police face extensive investigative work to understand the deceased family's situation. On Monday night, bodies of Praveen Mittal's father Deshraj Mittal (70), mother Bimla (66), wife Reena Mittal (40), son Hardik (13), and twin daughters Dilasha and Dhruvita (11) were found in their vehicle parked in Sector 27, while Praveen was found semi-conscious, but later died during CPR at the civil hospital. Two suicide notes attributed to Praveen Mittal cited financial bankruptcy as the reason, without holding anyone responsible. The family resided in Saketri after relocating from Pinjore, Kharar, and Dehradun. Praveen's financial difficulties included a failed scrap-material processing facility in Baddi, an unsuccessful tour and travel venture in Dehradun, and eventually working as a driver in Panchkula, accumulating debts worth several crores.

Heavy rain disrupts normal life in Belagavi
1 2 Belagavi: Incessant rainfall for the past four days in Belagavi and across the district disrupted normal life. Low-lying areas are getting waterlogged as pre-monsoon rain in such areas wasn't expected. One girl died in a house collapse in Gokak, while the Belagavi-Goa route via Chorla was halted after the submersion of Kasamalagi bridge. Continuous rain caused the water level in the Krishna and its tributaries to rise, submerging low-lying bridges and disrupting traffic. Water flowing onto the road from gutters constructed in the Belagavi Fort Road area caused severe disruption to traffic. Citizens expressed their anger over the corporation administration's failure to take any permanent action despite the fact that water from the gutters constructed in this area overflowed onto the road every time, obstructing traffic. A tree fell on Hindalga Road, disrupting traffic. Heavy rain also hit Savadatti, Bailhongal, Kittur, Raibag, Kagawad, Athani, Nippani, Chikodi, Khanapur, Ramdurg, Hukkeri, Gokak, and Mudalagi. A road safety wall along with the road collapsed on the road leading to Shendur in Nippani taluk, bringing traffic to a standstill. The gram panchayat development officer informed that the road, including the retaining wall, was damaged due to the presence of a well near the road.
