JAMMU, Dec 21: The Jammu and Kashmir government is taking the anti- graft bodies of Jammu and Kashmir under the purview of Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) with emphasis laid to dispose off the corruption cases, otherwise getting bundled up with each passing day, within a stipulated time period.
As per the senior officials of the present dispensation, the government has almost finalized the process to induct the staff of the anti- graft bodies under the domain of CBI and new rules and regulations are being formulated so that the graft cases gathering dust since decades in the anti graft bodies of Jammu and Kashmir are attended, investigated and culprits brought to the book without delay.
According to him, there are thousands of cases related to the corruption in Jammu and Kashmir gathering dust in anti- graft bodies. According to him, even those officials who have died years ago have the cases pending in the anti- graft bodies of Jammu and Kashmir. He added that the government in the erstwhile state hadn't fixed a time frame for the investigation of the corruption cases due to which those involved in such shabby practices used to escape unhurt.

"CBI can directly without any interference now investigate any graft case and it needs to permission from any government office to carry out the investigation. Earlier, this central anti graft body had to acquire permission for taking action against any official or bureaucrat accused of being involved in any corrupt practice. There are already offices of CBI established in many parts of Jammu and Kashmir and same shall be empowered further with requite manpower and facilities," said a senior official.

"There wasn't any forward movement in terms of the implementation of the suggestions given by the anti-graft bodies of the erstwhile state in the past. Such non- seriousness encourages corrupt officials to step up their illicit actions," says a senior official.
Another official within the dispensation divulged on the condition of anonymity that several heads different departments were acting as major roadblocks in the process and are foiling any measures of the government to tackle with the corruption menace. However, he said that at present the situation is going to be different in its entirety and there will be series of revolutionary measures taken to tackle the corrupt practices so far looming large in Jammu and Kashmir. |
