SRINAGAR: The Union Ministry of Home Affairs has stated that 35 employees have been terminated, while 32 have been prematurely retired in accordance with a zero-tolerance approach towards corruption in Jammu and Kashmir.
According to the MHA’s annual report for the period of April 1, 2022, to December 31, 2022, transparency and accountability have been the focal points of government initiatives, bringing about significant progress in various development areas over the past three years. The report emphasised timely project completion and the saturation of beneficiaries under Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) schemes.
The government’s resolute stance against corruption has resulted in the termination of 35 employees under Article 311 and the premature retirement of 32 employees under Article 226, as per the report.
The adoption of financial transformation measures like BEAMS (Budget Estimates and Monitoring System), PaySys (Payment System), 100 percent physical verification, mandatory administrative approval, technical sanction, and e-tendering has expedited project completion, leading to greater public satisfaction.
