The Kerala Administrative Service (KAS) officers should be the stewards of the State’s wealth and promoters of its opportunities, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayn has said. He was speaking after inaugurating the KAS Day celebration and the first-anniversary meeting of the Kerala Administrative Service Officers Association here on Sunday. The KAS officers were appointed in various departments to bring about progressive changes. The KAS is not a means to preside over the continuation of the old projects and schemes. On the contrary, the KAS officers are meant to break new ground for changes, he said. As the first batch of the KAS, the government has stood by the difficulties faced by the officials. The government has intervened to a large extent in the service problems faced by the officials, said the Chief Minister. He added that the government will immediately take measures to address the rest of the issues faced by them. The process regarding the amendment of the special rule will be completed expeditiously. Along with this, the government will also examine the possibility of providing periodic training to the KAS officers on the model of the All India Services. The KAS officials should try to turn insignificant departments into significant ones, said Mr. Vijayan while praising the interventions made by the officials in the meetings of the G20 summit and events like Keraleeyam and Navakerala Sadas. Both the State government and the public have high expectations of the KAS officials. They should nurture a positive attitude towards matters related to the people. The Chief Minister also said that maximum care should be taken to reduce the delay in taking decisions on files by using advanced technologies. The process of recruiting the next batch of KAS officers is in the final stage. As the first KAS batch, the officers have to set an example for the coming batches, he said. Governance should be done giving due respect to democracy. “We need a bureaucratic society guided by progressive secular values. A new work culture with an accountable approach is essential for working constructively. The government has introduced some new perspectives in the field of governance. The officers should have the qualities like adaptability, empathetic behaviour, awareness of civil rights, and confidence to work constructively,” he added.

The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has criticised the recent workers’ appreciation rally held in support of Governor Ademola Adeleke, questioning its purpose and dismissing it as a publicity stunt. The rally, organised by Osun State workers under the umbrella of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), was held to appreciate the governor’s approval of a new minimum wage of ₦75,558.24 for workers and ₦25,000 for pensioners. Speaking during the event on Monday, Governor Adeleke declared himself a “Talk and Do Governor,” reiterating his commitment to fulfilling his campaign promises, with workers’ welfare as a top priority. In a statement issued by its Director of Media and Information, Mr Kola Olabisi, the APC accused Governor Adeleke of seeking “cheap political popularity” through the rally. The party criticised the administration for allegedly sponsoring the event, claiming it lacked authenticity as no worker had yet received the promised minimum wage. Olabisi described the rally as “a superfluous theatrical show” and questioned why the appreciation did not originate directly from the workers. He said: “It is absurd that the state government under Governor Adeleke would stoop to sponsoring a civil servants’ rally, all in the name of announcing a minimum wage that has not yet been implemented. This is nothing but an attempt to fraudulently curry non-existent political popularity.” The APC also raised concerns about other unresolved issues in the state, including the alleged encroachment on the Ido-Osun Airport land by Adeleke Secondary School, a property linked to the governor’s family. The appreciation rally, held at the Government Secretariat in Osogbo, attracted a large turnout of workers who sang and danced while awaiting Governor Adeleke’s arrival. “We are here today to show appreciation for the kindness of Governor Ademola Adeleke in approving a minimum wage of ₦75,558.24. We, as workers, pledge to ensure quality service delivery for the benefit of Osun State.” In his speech, Governor Adeleke reaffirmed his commitment to workers’ welfare, stating, “They call me the Talk and Do Governor. During my campaign, I made workers’ happiness my priority. It’s a sin for someone to work and not get paid. Even with limited resources, I’ll continue to prioritise your welfare.” The governor also hinted at plans to improve the state’s Internally Generated Revenue (IGR), promising that these efforts would benefit the workforce. The APC, however, accused Governor Adeleke of neglecting pressing issues such as resolving the Ido-Osun Airport relocation crisis and addressing allegations of favouritism in the extension of the Head of Service’s tenure. The party argued that the rally was a distraction from these critical matters, warning: “If Governor Adeleke thinks this sycophantic rally will earn him political leverage beyond 2026, he is wasting his time and daydreaming.”Can AI chatbots make your holiday shopping easier?

Houston Texans wideout Tank Dell will have surgery to repair a dislocated kneecap, torn ACL and other damage, coach DeMeco Ryans confirmed Monday. Dell sustained the injury to his left leg while catching a 30-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter of Saturday's 27-19 loss to the Chiefs in Kansas City. Dell, 25, remained hospitalized on Saturday and Sunday before returning to Houston on Monday. "We're still meeting with doctors to see what's next for him, but it is a significant knee injury," Ryans said. "Our thoughts and prayers are definitely with Tank at this time." As Dell made a diving catch of a C.J. Stroud pass, fellow receiver Jared Wayne tumbled into Dell as both went to the ground. Dell maintained possession of the ball but had to be carted off the field with his leg immobilized in a brace. The touchdown catch, with 11:40 remaining in the third quarter, brought the Texans to within 17-16 after the extra point failed. Houston (9-6) scored just three points the rest of the way. Dell finished his second season with 51 catches for 667 yards and three touchdowns in 14 games (10 starts). He had 47 receptions for 709 yards and seven scores in 11 games (eight starts) as a rookie in 2023. Ryans also announced that safety Jimmie Ward is out for the year with a mid-foot sprain that will require surgery. Ward left the game on a cart in the first half. Ward, 33, had 48 tackles and two interceptions, including one returned for a touchdown, in 10 starts this season. He has 549 tackles, 10 picks and 51 passes defensed in 126 games (99 starts) with the San Francisco 49ers (2014-22) and Texans. Houston, which already has clinched the AFC South division title, hosts the Baltimore Ravens (10-5) on Christmas Day. --Field Level Media
