Mandi Ahmedgarh: Vigilance Awareness Week ends

Mandi Ahmedgarh, Nov 2

The celebrations regarding the Vigilance Awareness Week, being observed by various departments, concluded here on Monday.

While office-bearers and activists of various organisations of the area vowed to be honest and transparent in their day-to-day life, Ahmedgarh Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Harvinder Cheema cautioned officials at various police stations to work diligently to end corruption at various levels.

The police officials supervised by Malerkotla Senior Superintendent of Police Ravjot Kaur had launched a crusade against the corruption menace and called upon all concerned to support the movement.

Members of the Rotary Club, led by president Ajay Jain and assistant governor Dr Ravinder Sharma, had organised a series of workshops and seminars on the subject.

SP Harwant Kaur too cautioned all concerned that corruption had emerged as the gravest danger to the democracy of the country, which, if not curbed, would hinder the progress and prosperity of the region, besides maligning the image of the country at the international level.

Maintaining that the government had already implemented a policy to make working of all public dealing departments transparent, the SP said: “Contrary to earlier trend when people were not aware of procedures and functions of various departments, everything has been transparent, with accountability of designated officials fixed regarding completion of a certain job within the stipulated period. Only precondition of fighting against corruption is that people should be determined to get their works done without bribing government officials.”— OC
