Shivamogga : Congress MLA Gopal Krishna Belur Tuesday issued a 15-day ultimatum to Sagar tahsildar R Pratibha to streamline taluk administration, warning that she could face transfer if operations did not improve. Giving her 15 days to clear pending work and improve administrative efficiency, the three-time Congress MLA said he would recommend her deputation to the Shivamogga district headquarters if taluk office operations did not improve.
Drop this public relations approach and focus strictly on working honestly according to official procedure,” Belur told her during the review meeting. Bring matters to my notice first,” Belur said during the KDP proceedings, referring to complaints about delayed file processing at the taluk office and alleged misconduct at the Anandapura Hobli Nadakacheri. Speaking to TOI , Chirag of Rainland Trust said the public reprimand of an officer for her anti-quarrying drives was condemnable.
“Work comes first, publicity later. Stop making videos of crackdown operations and sharing them with news outlets. “I brought you here on transfer with the expectation that a woman officer would deliver solid results on the ground. Your responsibility is to take village accountants into the field, execute tasks, and submit formal reports to the administration.
