Nitish likely to introduce bill to fight corruption, mafias operating in state
The Morning Standard
|February 29, 2024
Once the Bill becomes an Act, it will give more teeth to the agencies responsible for checking corruption in the government offices. Similarly, the Act will have provisions for firmly dealing with land, sand and liquor mafias as well also with other outlaws.
The Act could have stringent provisions, very much like the Gangster Act in Uttar Pradesh, a senior government officer stated. On Wednesday, Bihar cabinet at its meeting chaired by chief minister Nitish Kumar passed a proposal in this regard.
Corruption in government offices will also be categorised as serious offences. All those cases related to corruption and syndicate mafia would now be treated as serious offences with provisions of harsh punishment.
