SVO Prefers Silence on probe Against JKPCC

Jammu, 01/Feb/2014: The Jammu and Kashmir State Vigilance Organization is keeping a mum over the probe ordered by none other than the Chief Minister’s Secretariat  against the JKPCC, Jammu and Kashmir Projects Construction Corporation Limited, a government owned company. The Chief Minister’s grievance cell (jkgrievance.nic.in) on 18/12/2013 had forwarded a complaint against the JKPCC to the State Vigilance Organization and then after also sent at least 3 reminders      ( reminders dated 30/12/2013, 06/01/2014 and 20/01/2014) to the State Vigilance department requesting early disposal of the complaint but all fell on deaf ear and the organization did not even bother to acknowledge the receipt of the complaint.

Earlier on 13/Dec/2013  complainant Raman Sharma had submitted  a written complaint to the Chief Minister through grievance cell wherein  his plea  he had submitted that the JKPCC  has flouted the directions of the Chief Minister and had purchased three luxurious vehicles and despite having 25 vehicles of its own also hired 6 private vehicles without inviting any tenders and have made a payment of Rs. 4,88,000.

In the complaint (vide no 45049) it is being submitted  the Chief Minister  while being officiating as Chairman of JKPCC in 2010, in 85th meeting of Board of Directors had directed the corporation to emphasize the need of capacity building to make it more profit earning and job providing organization and  lay stress on making transparency benchmark of functioning in the Corporation and vetting of the proposals involving financial implications and administrative matters by the Finance and Budget Committees of the Corporation for the final consideration of the Board.

In the meeting the chief minister had also directed for putting moratorium on purchase of high cost vehicles for next five years (till 2015 ). It was also directed to the corporation that the vehicles required for field workers should be given preference over the high cost luxury ones and the proposal for purchase of vehicles should be got approved not only by the Chairman (Minister in charge) of JKPCC but also by the Chief Minister.
