Indore : A 2001 batch IAS officer, P Narahari, on Friday took charge as Indore collector. Returning after eight years, when he was Indore Municipal Corporation Commissioner, Narahari finds a great divide in new and old City.

In an exclusive interview with Free Press, Narahari claimed that it was his priority to bridge the divide.

“Indore has undergone a tremendous change. Development is seen only in new part of the city. Old city still witnesses lack of infrastructure. My priority will be to develop the old Indore,” he said.

Narahari, who got fame as tech-savvy collector of Gwalior before he got transferred, said that there is need to expand the way of public delivery services operate. The need is digitalisation.

“We have to digitalize the system, like how I did in Gwalior,” he said adding people still face trouble in availing the services. Once the records would be digitalised, no one would be able to say that the records are lost or damaged.

It will also help in sending information and documents anywhere through the net, the collector said.

Narahari claimed that he believes in achieving targets before the stipulated time. Same will be case of projects like Khan River purification and the Light Metro Train.

The IAS officer visited temples in Indore and Ujjain, before assuming the charge as Indore collector from additional collector Aashish Singh. He later inspected the all the offices of the different departments and also held courtesy talks with divisional commissioner Sanjay Dubey.

Narahari’s Top priorities

Completing the Simhasta-related task before the scheduled time.

Revenue matters will get equal priority like that of development and maintaining the law and order.

The dialogues with the public would be continued – through the public hearings and social media

Use technology to deliver services.
