To take necessary steps or measures without delay.
Contexto cultural
The phrase is often used in 'Show Cause Notices' issued to government employees who fail in their duties. News anchors use this phrase to hold authorities accountable, often in a demanding tone. In modern Indian startups, this phrase is being replaced by 'Agile' terminology, but it remains standard in traditional MNCs. In Indian courts, 'kārrvãi' refers to the entire legal proceeding, not just a single act.
