December 16th, 2009 - 12:33 am ICT by IANS ( Leave a comment )Chandigarh, Dec 15 (IANS) Assets of some of the ‘rich’ bureaucrats in the country could soon be in the public domain with the IAS (Indian Administrative Service) officers’ association in Punjab Tuesday saying that it will encourage officers to voluntarily disclose their property and assets.
The move follows a direction by the Punjab State Information Commission to the Punjab government Monday seeking details of properties and assets of all bureaucrats during their service with the Punjab government.
IAS officers’ association president Sarvesh Kaushal said here in a statement Tuesday that the forum would encourage its member officers to disclose their property and other assets on an exclusive web-page.
He said the public will be able to access the information regarding officers online and this would bring transparency.
Information commissioner, Lt. Gen. P.K. Grover, Monday directed the state government to furnish details of property and other assets of its officers during their entire service.
