State home department has failed to take up any initiative on the recommendation made by the State Vigilance Commission (SVC) for removal of six women sub-inspectors (SI) for submitting fake OBC certificates and sports certificates while joining their services.

According to source, SVC during August 2012 recommended for termination of Ronita Meisnam for alleged use of false OBC certificate during the recruitment of women SI of police department during 2010.

Similarly the commission during December 2013 recommended the home department to take up necessary steps against five women SIs of police department identified as Chanuleima Pangeijam, Th. Rosie Devi, Aruna Laishram, N. Memtu Devi and Rajana Begum for submitting fake sport certificates by the time of joining their service during 2013, according to source.

The source said that the issue is important now as there is apprehension that the DPC for the promotion to women police inspectors will not be a fair or transparent.

With the advent of the new government people are looking forward for transparency and efficiency of administration and DPC procedure but who will transparency be there if no action has been taken up against the wrong doers, added the source.

The source further said that setting aside of the recommendation of the SVC by the competent authority will amount to underestimate the prestigious SVC department established by the state government to check corruptions and irregularities of different department.
