Minister for Revenue Krishna Byre Gowda conducted a surprise visit to Hunsur taluk office in Mysuru district on Tuesday and took the officials to task over their alleged laxity in the implementation of the e-office system and clearing of files.
Mr. Gowda, who was headed to Mysuru on Tuesday from Madikeri, where he presided over the progress review meeting of the Revenue Department in Kodagu district on Monday, stopped by the taluk office in Hunsur, taking the officials by surprise.
After perusing the attendance register to ascertain the presence on time of the officials working in the office, Mr. Gowda sought to examine the implementation of e-office software in the taluk office that facilitates paperless movement of files. Upon learning that the officials had not fully implemented the e-office system and were still maintaining physical records in files, Mr. Gowda questioned the officials of the taluk office.
