Corruption will not be tolerated: Sonowal

Assam Government will continue its anti-corruption drive to root out the social menace from every rank and file of administration.
Reiterating the state government's stand against corruption, Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal through a press statement today assured the people of Karbi Anglong and West Karbi Anglong that the government "will leave no stone unturned to fulfil the aspirations of the people".
Expressing gratitude to the people for their enthusiastic participation in the recently concluded Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council (KAAC) election, Sonowal said corruption is the major deterrent for progress in the KAAC.
He said the Home and Hills Areas Development department is fully committed to root out corruption from the hilly districts.

"People of the state have witnessed zero tolerance attitude adopted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi against corruption and in no case Government of Assam will compromise with corrupt elements.
"We will take exemplary action against corruption and will ensure that every penny meant for the development of KAAC is properly utilised," the chief minister said.
