Mangaluru police tops in e-filing initiative
Mangaluru: The Mangaluru city police commissionerate has achieved the top slot among the entire police department in Karnataka in terms of the e-filing system.
The state police department had introduced the e- filing system in July last year.
Soon after, the central criminal investigation department and other offices had begun to follow the system.
The city commissionerate implemented the system from October last year and within a few months, it has surpassed other police offices and annexed the top slot, city police Commissioner P S Harsha said.
He said that the entire process from registration to dispatch is completed in six to seven hours, and the files are being disposed of the same day, making it very convenient for the general public.
At the beginning of June, the police commissionerate has e-filed 42,803 files and e-receipts have been prepared for 46,162 files.
No other offices of police commissionerate, the office of the inspector general of police or superintendent of police have achieved this feat.
The Bengaluru criminal investigation department, which began the e-filing system very fast, is in the second spot now with e-filing of 20,550 files and 16,656 e-receipts.
Among the offices of the superintendents of police (SP), Mandya district is ahead of others where 14,311 files have been e-fled and e-receipts have been prepared for 6,364 files.
Dakshina Kannada SP office with 10,713 e-filing and 6,215 e-receipts, is in the second spot.
"In the police Commissionerate here, except the city special branch division, all other divisions have been covered under the e-filing system. The office is mostly paperless. The city special branch has not been fully brought under governance to maintain confidentiality. To ensure swift response by using information technology to the fullest, police staff were sent to various places for training. In the next phase, the commissionerate plans to bring the offices of the assistant commissioners of police under e- filing" Harsha said.

AIITA welcomes Karnataka’s ban on obscene songs in school events
Bhatkal: The Karnataka unit of the All India Ideal Teachers Association (AIITA) has welcomed the Karnataka government’s decision to strictly ban school children from dancing to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes in government, aided, and private schools across the state.
AIITA Karnataka State President M. R. Manvi congratulated the government for taking what he termed an important step to preserve the sanctity of education.
“Such decisions to safeguard the dignity of school children and uphold the values of education are the need of the hour. This rule should not be limited to government schools alone but must be strictly implemented in all private educational institutions as well,” he said.
He further urged the government to address other concerns within school programmes.
“The government should not only prohibit obscene dances in the name of school anniversaries, but also ensure that plays and dialogues that incite religious hatred are avoided. Schools should be centres of harmony, not platforms for spreading hatred,” he added.
According to a recent circular issued by the Department of School Education and Literacy, obscene dances are adversely affecting the mental health and moral values of students.
In this regard, schools have been advised to use songs that promote nationalism, positive thinking, the greatness of Kannada culture, and value-based traditions instead of inappropriate content during programmes.
The circular also emphasises that students should be dressed in decent attire.
AIITA also backed the department’s warning that disciplinary action would be taken against head teachers if such guidelines are violated. The association has further demanded that district Deputy Directors of Public Instruction strictly monitor the implementation of these rules.
