In Jammu and Kashmir, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha today called on the Anti-Corruption Bureau to ensure that every decision, investigation, and prosecution stands firm under the scrutiny of the courts and to leverage the authority granted by the nation's Constitution to expose injustice, eradicate corruption entirely, and earn the trust of the people. An Akashvani Jammu correspondent reports that the LG was speaking at the inauguration ceremony of the Anti-Corruption Bureau Headquarters Building at Sidhra, Jammu, and the ACB APKS Branch, Awantipora. The LG said that Jammu and Kashmir no longer settles for mediocrity or the ordinary. It now dares to dream big. Among our people, a firm belief has taken root that a golden future lies ahead. Fulfilling this vision is also the responsibility of the officers and staff at the Anti-Corruption Bureau, the LG said. He emphasised that the two buildings inaugurated today are not merely structures of steel, glass, and concrete; they stand as a bold declaration of transparency in public life and a corruption-free Union Territory. The LG also said that J&K stands at a pivotal juncture. Over the past 5-6 years, we have ushered in transformative changes, rendering the system transparent and dedicating it to public service. The entire machinery now operates not for the benefit of a select few, but for every individual across the Union Territory. The LG highlighted that the speed of project execution has accelerated significantly over the past few years. Revolutionary progress in industry, infrastructure, agriculture, self-employment, health, power, and rural development across nearly every sector stemmed from a transparent and accountable governance model. He asked the ACB officers to conduct a daily self-audit of their work to strengthen the hard-earned credibility. He also called for speedy investigation, observing that delayed justice does not merely deny society its due but it actively undermines outcomes in corruption cases. He stressed on cultivating a work culture that eliminates all delays in delivering justice.
