Vigilance department alone can’t weed out corruption from the society. People of all walks of life should come forward to contribute to the mission by informing the department about the persons who demand bribe using the positions they hold, said Director (vigilance) additional director general of police Ashok Kumar in a programme held at the auditorium of Mela Control Room in Haridwar district on Sunday.
Kumar said, “we blame the system but those persons give bribe and those receive bribe are equally guilty of corruption. There are two types of corruption one- we are forcibly being done like making ration card, driving license and others while another we do to complete our illegal work with the help of department officers concerned.”
He further said that in order to eradicate corruption, the State Government has established vigilance department and one can register complaint on toll-free-number 1800-180-6666 and what’s up and phone number- 9456592300. The department has opened account on facebook (fight against corruption Uttarakhand) and website has also been developed. One can send complaint on department’s email id.
He said that the objective of this programme was to create awareness about how to make India and State free from corruption.
