Odisha CM Declares Fighting Corruption a Moral Responsibility
The leader of Odisha, Chief Minister Majhi, says that stopping corruption is everyone's duty, not just the government's job.
He believes that corruption makes people lose faith in their leaders and makes the country weaker.
To fix this, his government has a 'zero-tolerance' rule, meaning no cheating will be accepted at all.
He wants to make sure that help and money meant for people actually reach them without being stolen.
He also praised the Vigilance department for catching corrupt people, both the small ones and the big bosses, which is a change from how things used to be.
Some people who were caught cheating have lost their jobs, and others have had their retirement money stopped.
The Chief Minister wants all citizens to help make Odisha a place free from corruption.
Odisha CM Mohan Charan Majhi declared fighting corruption a moral responsibility for all citizens.
The state government has adopted a zero-tolerance policy against corruption to ensure transparency.
30 government employees convicted in corruption cases have been dismissed.
Pensions of 68 retired officials found guilty of corruption have been stopped.
CM Majhi praised the Vigilance department for taking strong action against corrupt individuals of all ranks.
