Haryana Government Creates Revolving Fund to Reimburse Vigilance Trap Complainants
The Haryana government has established a dedicated revolving fund to reimburse citizens who provide bribe money for vigilance trap operations against corruption. Administered by the State Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau, the fund ensures complainants are promptly repaid after investigations. A committee reviews reimbursement proposals, and complainants must pledge to return any recovered money to maintain the fund's sustainability. This mechanism aims to encourage reporting of corruption without financial loss to citizens.
