Only valid complaints should reach the office of Lokayukta as
it has been seen that most of the complaints related to corruption are
registered by people with ulterior motives.
Under such circumstances, the Government faces difficulties in
executing its power effectively. Uttarakhand Chief Minister Vijay
Bahuguna said this after laying the foundation stone for Lokayukta
Bhawan at Sahastradhara Road in Dehradun on Wednesday.
After laying the foundation stone for the Lokayukta Bhawan to be
constructed on 10, 000 square feet land at the cost of `25 crore, the CM
said that Lokayukta was carrying out its responsibility of redressing
public grievances after investigating them minutely. The investigation
of allegations should be carried out properly so that people do not
undergo unnecessary inconvenience. He observed that leveling allegations
and character assassination had become common practices.
He called on the officers to work as per the rules and decorum to
minimise public grievances. “Corruption has permeated deep into the
system and to get rid of it change has to be brought about in people’s
thinking. Corruption can be eradicated only with positive thinking and
collective efforts,” he added.
Bahuguna said that several institutions and government offices have
been established at Raipur area. Very soon an international standard
sports stadium would be constructed near MP Sports College. “Government
wants events like IPL to take place here like in Dharamshala,” he said.
Lokayukta Justice (retd) MM Ghildiyal said that Lokayukta played an
important role in checking corruption taking place in administrative
activities. The awareness in general public could help in the speedy
resolution of public grievances, he added.
