Kerala Chief Minister V. D. Satheesan has launched an administrative mission to address a backlog of 2.76 lakh pending electronic and physical government files. The initiative, named ‘Janasparsham’, is set to run on an experimental basis from October 15 to December 31.

To facilitate this mission, the state government plans to develop a dashboard to allow officials to track file status. The drive aims not only to clear the existing backlog but also to identify systemic bottlenecks to prevent future delays. 

In related administrative news, the Chief Minister announced plans to introduce a bill providing legal protection for senior citizens, which includes the creation of a dedicated department for the elderly. Additionally, he reported that 568 out of 588 projects in the state’s 100-day program have been completed.
