December 9 was celeberated as International Anti-corruption Day. Tainted CVC P J Thomas launched a portal called 'Vig-Eye' where citizens can upload videos or audio clips exposing corrupt acts in Govt departments. Facility of on-line registration of compalints is already available on CVC website. Citizens can send complaints by other means also.The need of the citizens is that appropriate action should be taken on complaints lodged by them. My experience with CVC is highly unsatisfactory. I lodged a complaint with CVC against CD ROM Scam in Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), India's National Standards Body, working under Ministry of Consumer Affairs. CVC registered the complaint and forwarded it to CVO in BIS on 27.01.2010 to investigate and send report to CVC in three months. Today it 12.12.2010 (more than 10 months) but CVO BIS has not sent the investigation report to CVC. I have sent number of reminders but CVC does seem to have lost all interest in this scam where BIS has been put to a loss of Rs 5 Crores and a daily recurring loss of Rs. 65,000. All officers involved in the scam have been promoted and are enjoying the best of life.
What is the use of 21st century technology if no action is taken on the complaints lodged by the citizens? CVC and CVOs appointed by CVC are not working to remove corruption but are providing protection to corruption. Citizens have lost all faith in CVC.
