Senior officials said the Vigilance Bureau registers many cases every year, especially trap cases where officers are caught taking bribes. However, slow court processes often weaken the impact of these actions. The new plan aims to change this situation.

Under the initiative, special teams will closely monitor corruption cases from investigation to trial. These teams will coordinate with courts to push for faster hearings. At the same time, separate officers will handle departmental proceedings so that accused officials face immediate service-related consequences.

The plan also includes regular reviews of pending cases. Senior officers will track progress and remove obstacles that cause unnecessary delays. The government believes this system will discourage corruption and improve public confidence.

Officials said the initiative reflects the state’s zero-tolerance policy toward corruption. By ensuring faster justice and firm action, the government hopes to create a cleaner and more accountable administration.
