‘Don’t harass people’

Kota Srinivas Poojary, Minister for Muzrai, Ports and Inland Water Transport, said on Wednesday that the implementation of laws by government officials should not lead to harassment of people.
He was speaking at the inaugural function of the awareness workshop on “the Food Safety and Standards Act 2006” organised by the district administration here. Mr. Poojary said the Government formulated laws and regulations so that they provided security to the citizens. But some regulations were creating problems for people. It was essential for the officials to have a thorough knowledge of the all rules and regulations. Else, the people would be the ultimate sufferers. The Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) norms had created many problems for the fishermen living near the coast. Ever since the State Government implemented the ‘Sakala’ scheme, the efficiency of 150 government departments had increased. Files were being disposed more quickly than before.
Deputy Commissioner M.T. Reju said that over 1 lakh applications had been cleared under the ‘Sakala’ scheme in the district. The achievement under this scheme was 95 per cent, he said. President of zilla panchayat K. Shankar Poojary, Chief Executive Officer S.A. Prabhakar Sharma, zilla panchayat members Gitanjali Suvarna and Upendra Nayak, Additional Deputy Commissioner Kumar were present.
