Uttarakhand CM directs officials to run special campaigns to resolve pending complaints
Dehradun (Uttarakhand) [India], June 26 (ANI): Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has directed officials to run a special campaign to resolve complaints pending for more than 180 days in the CM Helpline 1905. Expressing displeasure, the Chief Minister issued strict instructions to the officials, stating that action would be taken against officers who failed to dispose of the cases promptly. While instructing not to close public complaints unnecessarily, he stated that more effective efforts should be made to bring the CM Helpline up to the best practices of the state.

The Chief Minister directed all District Magistrates to organise Janta Darshan, Tehsil Diwas, and BDC meetings regularly for the speedy resolution of public problems. 'Encroachment and verification campaigns should be run more effectively by the police and administration together. Work should be done rapidly towards making two villages in each district as Adarsh Gram, for this, nodal officers should be appointed in all the districts soon,' CM Dhami said. The Chief Minister directed that wherever the condition of electricity poles and transformers is bad in the state, they should be replaced immediately. 'Safety audit of all transformers should also be done. It should be ensured that there is no problem of low voltage and hanging electricity wires; if such cases are found, strict action will be taken against the concerned officers,' he said. The Chief Minister directed the officers associated with all the authorities to ensure that there is no pendency in passing the maps of people's houses. He said that the three districts that become TB-free first will be honoured. The Chief Minister praised the Transport, Agriculture, Social Welfare, Excise, and Energy Departments for their efforts in resolving complaints through the CM Helpline.

Indore launches spl drive to clear pending revenue cases
Indore: Indore district administration initiated a rigorous campaign to resolve all pending revenue cases by July 15, 2025. This ambitious drive targets cases pending as of May 31, 2025, promising disciplinary action for negligence and rewards for excellent performance. 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.
