Vigilance to Probe Corruption Cases Against Kashmiri Politicians

Announcing that all corruption cases against politicians and bureaucrats would be referred to State Vigilance Commission, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today declared war against corruption in the state.

Chairing meeting of Consultative Committee on General Administrtive Department(GAD) here today Mr Abdullah said that SVC has been given office in the Old Assembly Complex Srinagar.

He said cases pertaining to bureaucrats and government officials have been transferred to SVC from the Accountability Commission which will concentrate on the cases pertaining to politicians.

The Consultative Committee was informed that 193 cases received from SVO, Crime Branch and CBI, have been sanctioned for prosecution by the government and there is no backlog in this regard.

It was stated that three cases relating to IFS and IAS officers have been referred to Government of India for sanctioning prosecution.

The Chief Minister said government would consider yet another initiative of placing high ranking officers in corruption prone areas as dedicated vigilance officers to keep eye on transactions and functions of these departments and report status to Vigilance Commission regularly.

He said he has also directed for formulating water-tight cases against proven corrupt officials besides initiating prosecution process on firm footing so that they do not get any chance of getting benefit of looseness of the case or from any technical impediment in it.
