Anil Vij Orders Raid, Suspends Six Officers!

Haryana : In a rare and bold move, Haryana’s senior minister Anil Vij has turned the spotlight on his own department, ordering a surprise raid and suspending six officers, including JEs and SDOs, for alleged irregularities and corruption. The action was initiated following growing complaints about mismanagement and corruption in the Public Health Engineering Department, which falls under Vij’s direct charge.

The raid was carried out by the CM Flying Squad, a special anti-corruption unit, under direct instructions from Anil Vij. The operation caught the department off guard, as the officials had no prior indication of the impending inspection. During the raid, the squad reportedly found significant discrepancies in records, incomplete on-site works despite claimed completion, and financial misappropriations in official files.

Minister Vij, known for his no-nonsense attitude and tough stance on corruption, confirmed the suspensions shortly after the raid. He stated that action was taken to uphold administrative integrity and send a strong message across all departments. He also mentioned that more surprise inspections are likely in the coming weeks and any official found involved in corruption or negligence will face strict consequences.

This move has created a stir in the state bureaucracy and political corridors. What makes it even more shocking is that the raid was conducted on a department currently functioning under the minister himself. Political analysts say this could set a precedent in governance, where accountability begins at the top and internal audits are treated with the seriousness they deserve.

The suspended officers are now under further departmental inquiry and may face additional disciplinary or legal action depending on the findings. Meanwhile, senior officials have been asked to cooperate with investigators and ensure transparency in all pending files and ongoing projects.

Public reaction to the crackdown has been largely positive. Citizens and activists have praised Vij’s fearless decision to initiate a clean-up within his own ministry. On social media, many are calling this a much-needed example of political will and transparency in governance.

As Haryana prepares for future administrative reforms, this move by Anil Vij might become a landmark in the state’s anti-corruption narrative. It sends a clear signal — no one is above the law, not even those within a minister’s inner circle.
