Why it matters
Reflects growing civil society pressure for administrative transparency and the reduction of systemic graft in state governance.
The Coimbatore district unit of the Anti-Corruption Movement has urged Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay to implement a series of measures to strengthen the State’s anti-corruption mechanisms and ensure greater accountability in the administration.
In a representation, the organisation referred to the Chief Minister’s stated commitment to eradicate corruption and said that recurring arrests of officials allegedly accepting bribes showed the need for systemic reforms.
The organisation called for stringent action against officials found to be habitually involved in corrupt practices, including invoking Article 311(2)(b) of the Constitution, wherever warranted, to remove such officials from service.
It also sought greater accountability of departmental heads and supervisory officers for corrupt practices occurring under their jurisdiction. It suggested that Heads of Departments submit periodic vigilance and transparency certificates and that the reports be made available in the public domain.
