BHOPAL: A district collector in Madhya Pradesh has set an example by withholding his own salary over pendency of public complaints. A large number of complaints of citizens on the chief minister’s helpline from Jabalpur district are lying unaddressed.
IAS officer Karmveer Sharma has withheld his salary for December. He also ordered the district treasury officer to withhold salaries of a few other officers for December. Further, Sharma instructed withholding increments of some tehsildars over negligence in disposing cases.
He asked officials to dispose of by December 31 all complaints related to the CM helpline, which have been pending for over 100 days. “Not even a single complaint shall go unattended,” Sharma made it clear at a meeting with the officials.
