Ranchi: The Jharkhand government would introduce an anti-corruption bill in the assembly’s winter session, likely to be held in December, Chief Minister Arjun Munda said Wednesday.
“The government is working on a draft anti-corruption bill which will be introduced in the winter session,” said Munda in Jamshedpur, some 100 km from here.
“The government is committed to checking corruption. The BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) is also in favour of fighting corruption both at the state and the national level,” he said.
“We are planning to make provisions in the bill to attach properties of tainted people. Government officials could be sacked for corrupt practices,” he said.
The assembly, in the just-concluded monsoon session, passed the right to service law which requires officials to complete public related tasks in a stipulated period.
