In a significant anti-corruption move, the Punjab government has suspended the Deputy Commissioner of Sri Muktsar Sahib, Rajesh Tripathi, following serious corruption complaints. A spokesperson for the Punjab Government confirmed the action, underscoring the state’s “zero tolerance” policy toward corruption.
The suspension is part of broader efforts to hold officials accountable, in line with recent directives issued by the state government. These guidelines mandate that officers operate in a responsive and transparent manner, with feedback collected from the public and elected representatives, including MPs and MLAs. Such feedback will directly influence rewards and punishments for officials.
The action against the Deputy Commissioner came after complaints of corruption were raised, leading to a thorough inquiry. Based on the preliminary findings, the officer was immediately suspended, and a Vigilance enquiry has been launched. This decision demonstrates the Punjab government’s commitment to ensuring integrity and accountability in public service, highlighting its resolve to combat corruption and restore public trust.
