Have set records in cash recovery, case disposal, convictions: Odisha Vigilance Director
Digital Desk | Bhubaneswar, Oct 27 (IANS) Odisha Vigilance has achieved record performance in cash recovery, case disposal, prosecution sanctions and convictions, Director of Vigilance Y K Jethwa said on Tuesday, highlighting the states intensified efforts to strengthen its anti-corruption mechanism. Speaking after the state-level Vigilance Awareness Week programme, where Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi administered the Integrity Pledge, Jethwa said senior IAS, IPS and IFS officers, other officials, Central Government representatives, district Collectors, SPs, block-level functionaries and citizens joined through live telecast and video conferencing. He noted that a series of measures over the past two-and-a-half years has strengthened the agencys operational capabilities, improved detection, professionalised investigations and made prosecutions more effective. Highlighting the agencys achievements, Jethwa said Odisha Vigilance recovered approximately Rs 4.28 crore in cash during a disproportionate assets search at the residence of a mining officer in February 2026. He described it as the highest cash recovery in the history of Odisha Vigilance. The agency also completed investigations and disposed of 488 cases last year, marking its highest-ever annual disposal, he said. CM Majhi approved 105 prosecution sanction proposals, the highest number in the past two decades, according to Jethwa. The conviction rate of Odisha Vigilance, which had generally remained around 50 per cent, has increased to 65 per cent up to the end of October this year, marking another record for the agency, he added. Jethwa attributed the improved performance to the state governments initiatives to strengthen the organisation through specialised personnel, legal expertise and enhanced investigative capabilities. Odisha Vigilance now has cadre prosecutors in 17 courts and legal advisers in every division. The advisers include experienced anti-corruption lawyers, some of whom have spent 20 to 25 years in institutions such as the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). These legal experts monitor investigations and prosecutions and provide guidance to investigating officers and prosecutors to improve the quality of cases and their chances of success in court. The agency has also inducted professionals from outside the conventional policing system, including chartered accountants, banking experts and cyber specialists, to strengthen financial scrutiny, evidence collection and investigations. The state government has given in-principle approval for 100 posts at the Sub-Inspector and Inspector levels to augment the agencys manpower. Announcing another significant initiative, Jethwa said Chief Minister Majhi had approved the establishment of an Odisha Preventive Vigilance Research Wing under the agency. Describing it as an innovative, multidisciplinary initiative, he said the wing will analyse corruption data and cases to identify systemic weaknesses, procedural loopholes and vulnerable positions across departments, with competent officers from departments reporting higher corruption rates being associated with it. Jethwa said the initiative has recently received approval and the wing will become operational shortly. He expressed confidence that the state will achieve success in its fight against corruption through stronger investigations, effective prosecution, professional expertise and preventive measures. The Vigilance Awareness Week is being observed from October 26 to November 1, 2026, with the theme Probity for Prosperity.

Zero tolerance for corruption: Odisha CM warns govt officials
Digital Desk | Bhubaneswar, Oct 27 (IANS) Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Tuesday warned corrupt officers and employees, saying that governance is no longer being run from ivory towers and that the government has been reaching out to people and listening to their concerns on the ground. Addressing the state-level observance of Vigilance Awareness Week 2026 at the Convention Centre in Lok Seva Bhawan here, Majhi said, The public grievance hearing programme of our government is an important initiative to prevent corruption at the grassroots level. Through this programme, people bring to the notice of their ministers and the Chief Minister the corruption they face, and action is taken accordingly. On the occasion, the Chief Minister administered the integrity pledge to officials and other participants at the event. The Vigilance Department is the eyes and ears of good governance. Good governance is not only limited to formulating policies and schemes, but its real meaning is to completely prevent corruption and ensure that government funds reach the intended beneficiaries in full, he added. He said the state government has been taking extensive measures to make Odisha Vigilance more efficient and stronger. Thanking Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the JAM (Jan Dhan, Aadhaar, Mobile) system, Majhi said technology has been used by Modi to eradicate corruption at the grassroots level. The system has completely stopped the diversion and leakage of funds and is a blessing for the poor. Our government has adopted three strategies to combat corruption: a zero-tolerance policy towards corruption, intelligence-based legal action irrespective of an officials position or tenure, and punishment of officials arrested for corruption, the Chief Minister outlined. He expressed satisfaction that the Vigilance Department has been implementing these strategies fearlessly and professionally. He said that over the past two-and-a-half years, Odisha Vigilance has taken action against one IAS officer, eight officers of chief engineer rank, two divisional forest officers, joint commissioners of Excise and the State Transport Authority, three deputy directors of mines, five tehsildars and four block development officers, besides several other officials. Following convictions in corruption cases, 41 government employees have also been dismissed from service, while the pensions of 91 retired employees have been stopped during the period. The conviction rate of Odisha Vigilance stood at 50 per cent in 2025 and has risen to 65 per cent by September this year, Majhi said. The Chief Minister also said the state government has approved the Odisha IT Policy to promote the use of modern technology. A Preventive Vigilance Research Wing is being formed within Odisha Vigilance to identify areas prone to corruption and persons involved in corrupt practices. Referring to this year's theme, Integrity for Prosperity, Majhi said strong moral values, transparency and integrity were essential in the fight against corruption. He urged government employees to demonstrate integrity and dedication and called upon everyone to make integrity a way of life.

Ranji Trophy: Badoni Slams Second Successive Ton, Saranshs Seven-for Puts MP On Top
JSCA International Stadium: Batting all-rounder Ayush Badoni continued his rich vein of form by hitting a second consecutive hundred, while India off-spinner Saransh Jains seven-wicket haul gave Madhya Pradesh firm control on day one of the third-round Ranji Trophy matches on Monday. Fresh from a career-best 217 against Gujarat, Badoni struck an unbeaten 106 off 122 balls, laced with 11 fours and two sixes, to take Delhi to 309/5 against Jharkhand at the JSCA International Stadium in Ranchi. Badoni, 26, previously hit 205 against the same opponents in the 2024/25 season. A chanceless knock, Badonis sixth first-class hundred, anchored Delhis recovery. He found a reliable ally in all-rounder Sumit Mathur, who was unbeaten on 50, as the pair put together an unbroken 128-run stand for the sixth wicket. Mathur had a lucky escape on 36 when he was caught at long-on, only to be recalled because Anukul Roy had overstepped. At Holkar Stadium in Indore, Saranshs 7-40 helped Madhya Pradesh bowl Bihar out for just 99. The hosts, still looking for their first win of the season after two draws, then reached 261/3 with a lead of 162, after bowling out Bihar for 99. Wicketkeeper-batter Saksham Purohit was unbeaten on 113, and his opening partner Yash Dubey made 84. At the BKC Ground, Mumbai also made a strong start against Haryana at home after being put in to bat first. Angkrish Raghuvanshi made 114 off 180 balls with 13 fours and a six, while Musheer Khan scored 109 off 185 balls with 12 fours and a six. The pair added 208 runs for the second wicket to steer Mumbai to 290/3 at stumps. Defending champions Jammu and Kashmir, also in search of their first win, were frustrated by Priyanshu Moliya at the Reliance Ground in Vadodara. Moliyas patient unbeaten 113 lifted Baroda to 259/6 after they had slipped to 197/6 at one stage. Vidarbha, who have two wins so far, had Goa in trouble at 84/6 after Nachiket Bhute ripped through the top order with four wickets. But Darshan Misal and Yash Kasvankar then struck half-centuries and shared a stand of 104 runs for the seventh wicket to help the visitors reach 204/8. On a rain-hit day, Pondicherry reduced Uttar Pradesh to 67/4. In Mysuru, Karnataka recovered from a sluggish start to bowl Tripura out for 194 at the SDNR Wadiyar Stadium. The hosts, who sprang a surprise by leaving out pacers Vidwath Kaverappa and Abhilash Shetty to accommodate spinners Shikhar Shetty and Ritesh Bhatkal, failed to make use of the new ball as Tripura moved comfortably to 88/2 in the first session. Left-arm spinner Shikhar then claimed his third first-class five-wicket haul, while pacer Manvanth Kumar took three. Karnataka lost Mayank Agarwal early and were 10 for one at stumps. At the DVR Ground in Mulapadu, Chhattisgarhs spinners made full use of a helpful pitch to bowl Andhra out for 231. Veteran off-spinner Jayant Yadav led the way with 4-75, while Ajay Mandal and Dharmendrasinh Jadeja took three and two wickets respectively. In reply, Chhattisgarh lost Ayush Pandey early when he was run out going for an unnecessary quick single. Captain Anuj Tiwary and Mayank Verma then negotiated the final half-hour to take the visitors to 35/1. Wicketkeeper-batter Prabhsimran Singh laid the foundation with 81 off 126 balls, hitting nine fours and a six, while fifties from Salil Arora and Ramandeep Singh then guided Punjab to 289/6 against Hyderabad in Secunderabad. Denish Das made 90 off 165 balls, with 14 fours, to take Assam to 235/6 against Saurashtra in Rajkot. For the hosts, veteran pacer Jaydev Unadkat picked up three wickets, while Ravindra Jadeja and Arth Yadav took one wicket each. In Thiruvananthapuram, where only 50 overs were possible due to rain, Kerala reduced Bengal to 172/6, with Aditya Sarwate taking three wickets and Nedumankuzhy Basil two scalps. Maharashtra bowled out Gujarat for 233 in Pune, with Siddhesh Veer taking four wickets, while Rajvardhan Hangargekar and Vicky Ostwal claimed three apiece. Maharashtra were 24/1 when stumps were called. Services off-spinner Pulkit Narang returned 6-47, his second five-wicket haul of the season, to bowl Odisha out for 194 in Bhubaneswar. The visitors were 13/0 at stumps. Tamil Nadu bowled out Railways for 184 in Chennai, with R Sai Kishore and Sonu Yadav taking three wickets each, but slipped to 71/3 till stumps arrived. Devendra Singh Boras six-wicket haul helped Uttarakhand dismiss Rajasthan for 272 in Dehradun despite skipper Kartik Sharmas 73. Uttarakhand were 18/0 at stumps.
