Saini Cracks Whip on Corrupt Officials: Retirement Looms for Public Works Blunders
Chief Minister Saini has launched a major crackdown on officials and consultants involved in unauthorized contract enhancements in ongoing public works projects. The action follows a series of investigations revealing faulty estimates and significant procedural lapses.
Disciplinary proceedings, including the issuance of chargesheets, are underway. Several officials face the possibility of compulsory retirement for their roles in these irregularities.
The Chief Minister emphasized the need for absolute transparency and mandatory prior approval for any additional work on public projects. This strict approach aims to curb escalating costs and ensure accountability.
This decisive action comes at a crucial time, with several major infrastructure projects underway across the state. The government’s commitment to transparency and efficient use of public funds is expected to set a precedent for future projects and restore public trust.
