A meeting of Chief Vigilance Officers (CVOs) from various government departments took place in Bihar, chaired by Additional Chief Secretary Arvind Kumar Chaudhary. The meeting focused on reviewing pending corruption cases, online complaints, and the status of prosecution sanctions against officials.
During the meeting, it was disclosed that over 3,000 online complaints were forwarded to different departments for investigation. The Education Department, Urban Development, Home Department, Revenue, and Agriculture Department received the highest number of complaints.
The Vigilance Investigation Bureau reported registering 122 corruption cases last year, with a majority involving officials caught accepting bribes. The meeting emphasized the need for timely action on pending investigation reports and prosecution sanctions against accused officials.
To enhance transparency and efficiency, an online portal was launched by the Vigilance Investigation Bureau. The departments were directed to expedite pending prosecution sanction cases to ensure swift justice for guilty officials.
Monthly review meetings led by Chief Vigilance Officers in each department will now be conducted to strengthen the vigilance mechanism. The implementation of the online complaint system has notably improved grievance redressal and vigilance-related complaint tracking.
