Uttarakhand CM Dhami achieve major success against corruption

Dehradun (Uttarakhand) [India], May 14 (ANI): Another major success has been achieved under the strict campaign being run by Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami against corruption in Uttarakhand.
The team of the Vigilance Establishment on Wednesday arrested the ISBT outpost in-charge Sub Inspector Devendra Khugshal of Patel Nagar police station area in Dehradun red-handed while taking a bribe of Rs 1 lakh.
The complainant informed that the investigation of a land dispute with the outpost in charge, in which he demanded a bribe of Rs 5 lakh by threatening to apply the Gangster Act, is pending.
After a secret investigation, the Vigilance Establishment promptly laid a trap and arrested the accused.
In the last three years, the Dhami goverment has sent over 150 accused to jail in corruption cases.
Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami also praised this action and said that the state government is firm on resolving corruption-free Uttarakhand.
Strict action will be taken against any officer or employee who exploits the public.
Providing justice to the public is our priority.
Last week, the Dhami government's strong attack on corruption continued as instructed to take immediate, strict action with intensive investigation on the complaint of corruption, as the personnel involved in corruption are being arrested by the Vigilance and sent behind bars.
"In this sequence, vigilance took a big action in Nainital district and arrested the Chief Treasurer, Nainital and Accountant Treasury, Nainital red-handed while taking a bribe of one lakh twenty thousand rupees," the release said.
It said that, under the leadership of Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, the Uttarakhand government has taken historic decisions and concrete action in the last three years by implementing the policy of "Zero Tolerance on Corruption."
The release said that more than 150 accused officers, employees, and mafias have been arrested and sent to jail so far as part of the ongoing campaign against corruption and copymafia in the state.
Under the anti-cheating law made to bring transparency in the education sector in Uttarakhand, many organised gangs and brokers have been arrested and sent to judicial custody. Strict action was taken against more than 80 cheating mafias. As a result, in the last three years, about 23 thousand youth have been given government jobs with complete transparency. After the implementation of the anti-cheating law, not a single complaint of cheating was received," the release said.
Earlier in the day, Dhami chaired the Migration Prevention Commission review meeting at the Secretariat. The Chief Minister said a suitable platform would be provided to share the experiences of people who have done reverse migration in the state. Its objective is that other people should be inspired by these successes and take steps towards self-employment.
He also directed the state to ensure the adequate availability of medicines, surgical equipment, and other necessary medical resources in all hospitals. (ANI)
