CBI nabs 2 CMPF staff for bribe in Dhanbad
Dhanbad: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Wednesday arrested two employees of the Coal Mines Provident Fund (CMPF) while accepting a bribe of Rs 20,000 from the son of a retired Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL) employee.
Sources in the central investigative agency said that PF clerk Dhiraj Nishad and section officer Vishnu Prasad Gupta had allegedly demanded Rs 20,000 from the son of a retired BCCL staff to process the pension-related work of his father.
CBI superintendent of police PK Jha said, "Two teams executed a coordinated trap based on the complaint. One team arrested clerk Dhiraj Nishad from the Bastakola office of the BCCL.
During interrogation, he revealed that section officer Vishnu Prasad Gupta had instructed him to demand the bribe."
"Acting upon this statement, another team approached Gupta pretending to be a relative of the complainant and offered the bribe. Gupta was caught red-handed while accepting the cash," he added.
Both accused were taken to the CBI office for further interrogation. Strict action would be taken against the guilty, SP Jha stated.

6 Haryana irrigation dept officials to face action over project delays
Chandigarh: Two days after Haryana chief minister Nayab Singh Saini expressed strong displeasure over project delays and questionable work order allotments, particularly for the diaphragm wall in the Yamuna, the irrigation department has identified six officials, including two chief engineers, for strict departmental action. The administrative secretary of the irrigation and water resources department has forwarded a proposal detailing the disciplinary measures to the chief minister's office (CMO) for approval. The department is also considering a probe by the Anti-Corruption Bureau. A decision is expected on Friday, when the irrigation department officials attend a follow-up meeting, expected to be chaired by CM Saini himself. Sources said the meeting will review the progress of five mega projects, including a new parallel lined channel from Dadupur to Hamida head, the remodelling of the Western Yamuna Canal (WJC), augmentation canal remodelling, and the construction of a diaphragm wall downstream of Hathnikund barrage. "Soon after the Monday review, the officials facing action were identified and the proposal was forwarded to the CM," an official confirmed. "Regarding the Yamuna barrage work, technical clarifications on raw material sources will also be sought," the official added. Last week, irrigation and water resources minister Shruti Choudhry announced departmental action against 80 officials for use of substandard material in civil works. While this issue was yet to settle down, the slow pace of development in mega projects for the augmentation of irrigation and inadequate progress of works at the Yamuna barrage led to more chief engineers and errant officials facing action. On Monday, during a review meeting of mega projects worth more than Rs 100 crore of the irrigation and water resources department, the CM was upset with the pace of work progress and certain anomalies in the bidding and awarding of tenders. He categorically asked the administrative secretary and director general of the irrigation department to put his "displeasure note" on the file, demanding identification of the officials responsible.
