Punjab High Court Calls for State Action on Institutionalised Corruption; ED Sends Letters to DGP

The Punjab and Haryana High Court has issued an order demanding a response from the state government on allegations of institutionalised corruption. The court asked for a detailed report on how corruption has become entrenched in public offices and what measures have been taken to curb it. In a parallel development, the Enforcement Directorate has sent letters to the Director General of Police of Punjab, requesting cooperation in ongoing investigations related to the corruption allegations. The letters seek information on pending cases and the status of investigations. The court’s directive underscores the judiciary’s concern over systemic corruption and signals a push for greater transparency and accountability in the state’s administration.
