Ukhand govt to make public probe reports of 'irregularities'

Uttarkhand government is mulling making public before the state Assembly polls next year the findings the two commissions formed by it to probe the alleged irregularities during the BJP rule.
The S C Tripathi and K L Bhati commissions have submitted their reports to the government and Congress has now decided to discuss the reports in the cabinet meeting so that they can be made public before the state Assembly elections in 2017.
"The state government will soon call a meeting to discuss the reports," reliable sources in Congress told PTI.
A decision to this effect was taken at a meeting of the Congress Coordination Committee held in New Delhi last week.

State Congress chief Kishore Upadhyay had recently written a letter to Chief Minister Harish Rawat demanding action on the probe reports.
Retired IAS officer Bhati had initiated the probe in 2012 and had submitted the reports on the alleged irregularities in the Uttarakhand Seeds and Tarai Development Corporation.

Following the resignation of Bhati, the government had formed the Tripathi Commission which submitted its probe report last year.
These commissions were asked to probe alleged irregularities in as many as 56 Hydroelectricity projects' allocations, Mahakumbh Mela and central government maintained projects, among others.
In the run-up to the 2012 Assembly polls, Congress had in its manifesto promised probing the alleged irregularities and taking action against the guilty.
