He also directed for proper coordination among field functionaries to maintain accuracy and authenticity of records.
Emphasising time-bound public service delivery, the Deputy Commissioner asked the officers to strictly adhere to timelines prescribed under the Public Services Guarantee Act and ensure prompt disposal of revenue-related services such as issuance of certificates, mutations and other public services.
