Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has taken significant action in response to a scam involving the Home Guard uniform. This decision came after it was revealed that Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Amitabh was allegedly implicated in the misuse of funds related to the procurement of uniforms for Home Guard personnel. The scam raised serious concerns about corruption and mismanagement within the department, prompting immediate scrutiny from government officials.
In light of the findings, CM Dhami ordered a thorough investigation into the matter to ensure accountability and transparency. The Chief Minister emphasized the importance of upholding integrity within the Home Guard and expressed his commitment to rooting out corruption at all levels. As part of the measures taken, DIG Amitabh has been suspended pending further inquiry, highlighting the government’s zero-tolerance stance towards wrongdoing in public service.
This decisive action by CM Dhami not only aims to address the specific allegations against DIG Amitabh but also serves as a warning to others within the department. It reflects the government’s commitment to maintaining ethical standards and ensuring that resources allocated for public safety and security are used appropriately. The investigation is expected to shed light on the extent of the scam and identify any other individuals who may have been involved, ensuring that justice is served and restoring public trust in the Home Guard’s operations.
