Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh–
The Haryana Cabinet, which met under the chairmanship of CM Nayab Singh Saini here today, gave approval for renaming of ACB to State Vigilance & Anti-Corruption Bureau, Haryana.
This decision was taken after a comprehensive review of the Bureau’s evolving role and responsibilities. The revised name—State Vigilance & Anti-Corruption Bureau, Haryana—better captures the dual focus of the Bureau: combating corruption and ensuring vigilance within the administrative framework.
The Bureau's responsibility goes beyond anti-corruption efforts alone. It also encompasses a broader vigilance framework. The combined nomenclature of "Vigilance & Anti-Corruption" captures the full scope of its operations, including investigations into malpractices, corruption, and transparency issues across various government departments.
