He gave strict directions that approval should be given within the stipulated time, so that the appropriate action on the matters could be taken at the earliest.
Kaushal said soon a portal will be developed on which the departments can upload all types of information related to vigilance cases like Action Taken Report (ATR), investigation report, sanction for prosecution etc.
This will enable real-time information about the pending actions in various departments. Not only this, the report of every department will also be generated on a monthly basis and the administrative secretaries will also be able to review such cases, he added.
