CSKHPKV Palampur Engulfed in Allegations of Rampant Corruption
The prestigious CSKHPKV Palampur, with its 45-year legacy, is facing serious accusations of corruption, casting a dark shadow over its reputation. These allegations center around:
Favoritism in awarding contracts: Specific contractors seem to be unfairly favored, raising concerns about transparency and impartiality.
Improper conduct in XEBs: Departments responsible for construction, design, and electrical work stand accused of various improprieties, particularly targeting the XEN (Executive Engineer) construction.
Sidelining of XEN construction: The former Vice Chancellor allegedly bypassed established protocols to sideline the XEN construction Jassal, reportedly paving the way for the current XEN to engage in corrupt practices.
Estate Cell under fire: Once a symbol of efficient administration, the Estate Cell is now embroiled in accusations of corruption, allegedly involving the acting varsity head and political figures. This has reportedly led to plummeting productivity and widespread graft by XENs, amounting to crores of rupees.
These alarming allegations have prompted calls for:
Government intervention: Public demands strict measures to dismantle unnecessary staffing and outsource essential functions.
Thorough investigation: The Estate Cell’s construction division is under intense scrutiny, with demands for an in-depth probe to expose the web of corruption and hold those responsible accountable.
Legal action against XENs: The alleged impunity enjoyed by XENs implicated in the Estate Cell’s corruption, particularly in construction, has sparked public outrage. Calls are growing for swift investigations and legal repercussions for the guilty parties.
Scrutiny of the audit department: The audit department’s potential involvement or negligence in the scandal is raising concerns about a deeper systemic issue.
