  "account": "Haryana has implemented a system to monitor decisions made during Chief Minister meetings, requiring departments to track progress and submit evidence-based compliance reports. A new Standard Operating Procedure, issued by Chief Secretary Anurag Rastogi on Tuesday, mandates departments to replace vague statements like \"action is being taken\" with specific, measurable directives. Departments are to provide answers to five key questions: what must be done, who will carry it out, by when, the expected outcome, and proof of completion. The practice of oral alterations in approved minutes of meetings is prohibited, with any corrections requiring separate corrigenda or amendments approved by higher authorities. Departments must submit Action Taken Reports (ATRs) within one month of the meeting, classifying each action point as Completed, In Progress, Overdue, Not Started, or Not Feasible/Issue Requiring Decision. Missed deadlines will trigger an escalation mechanism, with the administrative secretary or head of the department reviewing reasons for non-compliance. The CM Meeting Monitoring Portal will serve as the central platform for decisions and directions issued in Chief Minister-led meetings, with action points uploaded within two working days of the minute's approval.",
