This is unacceptable and will not be tolerated from now onwards. Now, every district officer will have to submit a weekly performance report of their respective district offices,” he said.Gautam further said the officer in his report has to specify that how many applications were received and how many of them resolved. This report has to be positively submitted every Friday evening and will then be assessed by senior officers of the department," Gautam added.
