In order to ensure good governance, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Saturday asked officials to follow his 5T-formula while discharging duties and, as a result, get promotion.
Chairing a meeting at the Lok Seva Bhawan on implementation of the ‘Mo Sarkar’ initiative scheduled to be launched on Gandhi Jayanti, Patnaik said the officials, who would work by abiding by the 5Ts, would be elevated to upper ranks without any condition.
However, officials would face sudden demotion without any notice if they are found to be insincere in discharging their duties, Patnaik warned.
At the meeting, the CM held discussion with as many as 635 IICs (Inspectors-in-Charge) through a videoconferencing.
Stating that his Government is running with people’s money, the Chief Minister asked the IICs to behave with the complainants in fully professional, moral and humane manner.
He asked them to register phone number of each complainant visiting their police stations with the portal so that the mobile number would be accessed by SPs and the Chief Minister. As soon as registration is done, SMSs would be sent to the concerned phone numbers.
If any complainant doesn’t have own phone number, he or she can give a relative’s number.
The Chief Minister would randomly select 10 phone numbers every day and talk to complainants directly to inquire about how they were behaved in the PS. He asked the IICs to give priorities on the complaints of women.
Chief Secretary Asit Tripathy advised police officials to perceive themselves as people’s servants and work accordingly. DGP BK Sharma hinted about training being given to police officials to make ‘Mo Sarkar’ a grand success. 5-T Secretary VK Pandian said Odisha is the first State to undertake such a programme.
Notably, the Chief Minister had announced the ‘Mo Sarkar’ programme on the Independence Day on August 15. The initiative will commence from October 2.
