Bengaluru, Oct 17 (TIWN) Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Monday took the Deputy Commissioners to task in connection with lack of efficiency in providing relief measures to flood affected victims.

The measures are not enough and it is affecting the image of the government, Chief Minister Bommai stated. The timely decisions of Deputy Commissioners must help people and they must work with a calm mind and time sense, suggested Bommai.  He said for any IAS officer, working as Deputy Commissioner is considered very important and it is not important what kind of footsteps that one will leave behind.  Now most of them have only seen the power of the DC post by not taking into account responsibility and administration. The ruling is different and administration is different, and both must be considered while working, he added.  The CM said they are part of the administration and have a lot of powers too. The DCS must know how important their decisions are in the management of administration.  There will be 101 reasons not to do any particular work but one reason is enough to do good work. So, they must govern by taking decisions in time, he said.
