The move came a day after the Cabinet Minister conducted a surprise inspection at the modern vending zone being constructed at a cost of Rs 1 crore at the old vegetable market in Sunam and detected that old and poor quality bricks were being used for installation of sewerage manhole chambers. Pertinently, Mr. Aman Arora had directed the concerned officials and the contractor to replace the material at once otherwise a strict action would be initiated against them. The Cabinet Minister has categorically stated that those who plunder state exchequer will be dealt with iron hands and strict action will be initiated against any officer, employee or contractor found misusing government funds. Responding to the irrelevant and scurrilous statements of the opposition, the Cabinet Minister said that the loot of people s money during the previous governments will no longer be tolerated by the Punjab government under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann. He unequivocally said that the Mann government has adopted a zero tolerance policy against corruption and malpractice in government departments. (editor dailyworld.in)
