Sagar MLA warns tahsildar of transfer over staff’s slow work
The Congress MLA also took objection to tahsildar ‘taking media’ during her raids
Sagar MLA Belur Gopala Krishna has issued a stern warning to Sagar tahsildar R. Prathibha, threatening to transfer her if she fails to improve her office staff's efficiency within 15 days. During the Karnataka Development Programme review meeting in Sagar on Tuesday, the MLA expressed his dissatisfaction with the functioning of certain officials in the taluk office and Nada Kacheri at Anandapura. He claimed to have received complaints from the public regarding the officials' neglect in processing applications.
Mr. Krishna had posted a woman officer to Sagar taluk, hoping she would work more effectively, but he was disappointed with her performance. He issued a warning stating, "Within 15 days, things should improve. Otherwise, you will be transferred to the Deputy Commissioner’s office in Shivamogga or elsewhere." Additionally, he asked Assistant Commissioner Veeresh Kumar to ensure the work was completed.
The MLA further criticized the tahsildar for her recent visits to illegal quarry sites, where she recorded her actions on her mobile phone and shared the footage on social media. He advised her to stop bringing "media" along on such visits and to avoid recording videos of her work, though she could still file reports on any illegality.
The MLA also objected to Revenue Department officials visiting temples to inquire about temple committee transactions. Ms. Prathibha had recently visited laterite quarry points and illegal sand extraction sites and shared her footage on social media platforms.
