Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Friday warned of action against officials who delay approvals for investment proposals, citing random court orders.

He stressed that the time frame for issuing various No Objection Certificates (NOCs) should be shortened to prevent delays in investment in the state.

"Officials should not sit idle, citing the court orders as an excuse. The same order exists for neighbouring states as well. If we keep saying that problems which do not occur in other states are happening to us, action will have to be taken," Siddaramaiah said at a meeting in Vidhana Soudha on attracting capital investment.
