Coal India leads state-run companies in preventive vigilance

NEW DELHI: The coal sector has emerged as the frontrunner among 20 government undertakings that have brought down corruption under the NDA government. The discriminatory allocation of coal blocks had dragged even former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh into the controversy during the UPA government’s  tenure.
 
Central Vigilance Commissioner KV Chowdary on Monday said Coal India was among the top public undertakings in ‘preventive vigilance’ that started in 2015 seeking suggestion from public undertakings and government departments to bring down corrupt practices.
 
The list and rankings of all the 20 departments will be released by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on November 7, said officials.
