Dimapur, July 13 (MExN): The Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Department Police have started a probe into “false RTI disclosure” and allegation of “backdoor appointment” in the Legal Metrology and Consumer Protection Department. A press release from the People for Democratic Rights (PDR) claimed that they have received a letter from the Department's PIO and Joint Controller that the Vigilance and Anti Corruption Police have started inquiry into the matter. The PIO, in the letter, said that the department is unable to clarify the matter on the issue “at this stage” as the Vigilance has already started “enquiry into the matter.” Meanwhile, while appreciating the Vigilance Commission for taking cognizance of irregularities, the PDR also appealed for “fair” probe into the matter.
