Delhi Bill to Fine Bureaucrats Rs 5,000 for Unjustified Service Delays

The move is aimed at addressing long-standing inefficiency and unaccountability within India's bureaucratic system. While critics question whether the penalty is strong enough to drive meaningful change, the bill is seen as a step toward greater administrative accountability.
