The Jammu and Kashmir administration has initiated "penalty proceedings" against 55 officers for alleged delay on their part in delivery of various services in the revenue department, a senior official said.
This step has been taken by the administration to ensure time-bound delivery of online services, e-services being covered under the Public Services Guarantee Act (PSGA) with linkage to Auto-Appeal System (AAS) which escalates breach of timeline cases to the next authority for action against defaulting officer, they said.
Chief Secretary Arun Kumar Mehta chaired a meeting of Administrative Secretaries on Tuesday and took stock of activities undertaken during the course of vigilance week. During the meeting, it was informed that the government had been vigorously working to promote both preventive and participatory vigilance for bringing transparency and accountability in governance.
