CM says pre-monsoon rain havoc has claimed 52 lives, directs officials to make field visits to help people

 

Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday instructed Deputy Commissioners of all districts and CEOs of Zilla Panchayats to transform the government’s image by reaching out to people through field visits and shunning the earlier functioning style of operating from the comfort of their offices. 

“It is not possible to work efficiently and effectively if you operate only from the office. You should be on the field attending to the problems of people. The Deputy Commissioners have stopped going into the field. Even they should start reaching out to people through field visits,” said the CM, who reviewed the situation with respect to natural calamities and preparations for the monsoon as well as sowing for kharif season through video interaction with the administration of all the districts.
