GUWAHATI: Two ministers of the State have appealed to the public to inform them personally or report on social media if they find corruption in any form. The duo has also made it clear that the government will inquire into every allegation.

Panchayat and Rural Development Minister Ranjeet Kumar Dass said on Sunday, "The State Government led by Himanta Biswa Sarma has a vision, and it works with a mission. This government has adopted the policy of zero tolerance for corruption. The Panchayati Raj system has its roots up to the grassroots level. If people see corruption at any level, they can personally inform me without any fear. They can also report corruption in social media. We will get all allegations inquired into by the principal secretary, the commissioner or any other officer. We will also take action against the guilty officials if the inquiries prove the allegations against them."

Talking to The Sentinel, Revenue and Disaster Management Minister Jogen Mohan said in the same vein, "Revenue and Disaster management is an important department. From time to time, allegations of irregularities do crop up at various levels. A person finding an anomaly can personally inform me without any fear or report it on social media. The competent authorities will inquire into every allegation. The public servants will have to serve the people. If any person has suggestions for smooth functioning of the department, he can send them to us."

Minister Jogen Mohan requested the public to inform him personally on his WhatsApp number 9394939055.

Recently the department placed Gohpur Revenue Circle Lat Mandal Hemanta Gohain under suspension for corruption allegations against him.
