Lucknow, 21 Sept: Yogi Adityanath, the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, has asked all district magistrates (DMs) in the state to provide e-district services within a week, according to a government statement issued on Thursday.
According to the statement, the existing time limit for processing these services is unreasonably long.
According to the statement, the DMs have also been asked to establish accountability for pending cases that exceed the designated time frame and to take strict action against officers who are negligent in the disposal of e-district services to avoid delays in the issuance of caste, domicile (residence), income, and status certificates.
Government officials recently submitted the concept for e-district services to Yogi at the CM Command Centre and Dashboard review meeting.
During the conference, authorities stated that the state had received 61,32,976 applications for caste certificates since January.
These applications are normally reviewed and issued within 15 days by the local tehsildar. It went on to say that 59,13,420 applications have been rejected so far (96 percent of the total).
