Early Times Report
Srinagar, Mar 6: A sharp surge is being witnessed in cases related to corruption in the state, with graft complaints only mounting with each passing day at the State Vigilance Commission (SVC).
As compared to previous years, there are highest number of complaints related to corruption in the state being received by the SVC at present. The SVC which was established in August 2013 to keep a check over the graft cases in the state is witnessing an abrupt increase in the number of complaints, hence compelling commission to remain on the tenterhooks every time.
The official documents in possession of the Early Times reveal that there were more than 3000 graft related cases received by the commission and that more than two thousand complaints were investigated till the recent past.
Sources said that the corruption graph in the state is touching the dreadful mark and that SVC in this regard has been receiving complaints pertaining to misappropriation of funds, embezzlements, mis-use of the official position by the public servants every day after. "Since the day of its inception, there was a serious scarcity of the staff being felt on ground. Though the previous regimes made least efforts in providing proper staff to the commission, SVC has been thoroughly investigating the graft cases and striving to put lid over the corruption menace," an official said.
It was informed further that there are around 960 complaints of corruption pending at the SVC and investigations into the same are going on at a recommended pace. Furthermore, 1738 complaints have so far been disposed.
SVC has also been keeping a close vigil at the master plan violations that have so far gone unabated in Srinagar with the concerned departments allowing rampant violations of the laid down procedure. Acting as a third eye for the departments that have allowed blue eyes to mock at the norms and rules, SVC in the recent past slammed the SMC over its inability to put a lid over rampant construction of the illegal structures. Pertinently, on March 1, this year, the SVC directed the Commissioner Srinagar Municipal Corporation to submit action taken against all those involved in the Master Plan violation. "The State Vigilance Commission while ensuring that strict action is taken against the officers/officials of SMC Srinagar in the matter which has lead to gross violation of the Srinagar Master Plan and Municipal laws, has directed the Commissioner Srinagar Municipal Corporation to submit action taken against all those involved by next date of hearing," reads the statement issued by the commission on March 1. |
