Jammu, Feb 11: The Jammu Youth Morcha (JYM) demanded from the Governor to order CBI probe into the financial bungling and tiles fixing scam during the tenure of Special Secretary to Vice Chancellor Jai Kumar Sharma was Joint Registrar Finance, when the amount was authoritative for the said works and he should also be questioned.
Addressing the media persons here, President Rahul Sharma condemns the SS to VC and Vigilance Officers. He alleged that Vigilance officers have given clean chit to SS to Vice Chancellor. He said that though the Vigilance Organization had registered a case against the engineers who had fraudulently withdrawn over Rs 3 lakhs for non-executed work but they spared the 'bosses' who intentionally cleared the bills and let the scam happened.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," he said and adding the varsity administration had been shielding the officers, particularly SS 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the mockery of the system and it could be well gauged that they allowed the fixing of tiles, against which funds were withdrawn fraudulently, during night hours and that too, the day when the Vigilance had booked three engineers," he said.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 JYM 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 warned the JYM activists would launch indefinite agitation on the Jammu Province, if the Chancellor didn't initiate action against the corrupt officers including his SS, who had already been facing corruption charges when he was addition Controller, Examination Wing, of the varsity. |
