| NSF picks holes in Vigilance investigation; demands inquiry against OSD | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, July 27: Questioning the State Vigilance Organization's (SVO's) investigation into tiles fixing scam, National Secular Forum (NSF) today said that senior officials, who were instrumental in the scam and cleared the bills without checking the veracity of executed work, were being shielded by the varsity administration.
Addressing the media persons here on the campus, Surjit Choudhary, Sr.Vice-president NSF said that though the Vigilance Organization had registered a case against the engineers who had fraudulently withdrawn over Rs 3 lakh for non-executed work but they spared the 'bosses' who intentionally cleared the bills and let the scam happened.
"The involvement into the scam can't be ruled out as they were equally involved into the case. They should also be grilled for a fair and transparent probe," the NSF leader said.He said the varsity administration had been shielding the officers, particularly Officer on Special Duty (OSD) to Vice-Chancellor, Jai Kumar Sharma who had cleared the bills without visiting the work site. "The varsity officials have made the mockery of the system and it could be well gauged that they allowed the fixing of tiles, against which funds were withdrawn fraudulently, during night hours and that too, the day when the Vigilance had booked three engineers," he said. The NSF leader said the "inefficient" and "corrupt" officials were calling the shots on the campus, while the Vice-Chancellor has turned "mute spectator" to the issue.He appealed the SVO and the Vice-Chancellor to initiate a thorough probe against the officers, including OSD to Vice-Chancellor for expose the nexus between contractor-engineers-officers nexus. He warned the NSF activists would launch indefinite agitation on the campus and at tehsil level, if the Vice-Chancellor didn't initiate action against the corrupt officers including his OSD, who had already been facing corruption charges when he was addition Controller, Examination Wing, of the varsity.
He also threatened that they would hold stage dharnas (sit-in) outside the Raj Bhawan if the university failed to act sternly against the corrupt officers. |
