Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Nov 30:  Calling upon the officers to coordinate with Central office of the Vigilance Organization to set right the records pertaining to corruption related cases, the Chief Vigilance Commissioner has directed to ensure that none of the case is left without action and completed in a time bound manner.
The Chief Vigilance Commissioner said this while chairing a joint meeting of SVC and the officers of Housing and Urban Development Department, convened to review the status of RDAs (Regular Department Actions) and other corruption related complaints forwarded by (SVC) State Vigilance Commission and Vigilance Organization to the department.
Emphasizing on early vacating of stay orders given by various Courts of Law in different cases under investigation with the Vigilance Organization, the CVC said that a senior officer should approach the Registry of the Court and ensure that the cases are listed early so that these are heard and further action is taken as per order of the court.  Expressing dismay over the modus operandi adopted by some officers in disposing of the RDAs, the CVC said that action against wrongdoers should be taken in a time bound manner.
Regarding land encroachment, the CVC asked Managing Director, JK Housing Board to take all necessary measures for protecting the Housing Board land. He said the stay obtained by the encroachers needs to be vacated from the Court of law so that the land is utilized for public purposes.
Responding to a point raised by Director Urban Local Bodies, Kashmir, regarding the illegal appointments made in Municipal Committees, from time to time, the CVC said that all the appointments or engagements should be made in accordance with the relevant recruitment rules of the department. He said where recruitment rules are not available for any category of posts the officers should follow the guidelines of the CSR thereby ensuring that Constitutional rights of the citizens guaranteeing equal opportunities in employment are safeguarded.
