Officials said that the initiative was a part of government’s drive to check graft in public offices. “It is no secret that many offices like those of tehsildars, Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA) and registration and licensing authority are regarded as dens of corruption. We are looking at ways to create deterrents.

Unfortunately, the periodic raids and traps set up by Vigilance Bureau to nab corrupt officials have not proved very effective over the years,’’ an official remarked.

The activities taking place in these offices will be monitored and recorded daily through closed-circuit cameras fitted with microphones. The deputy commissioners and superintendents of police will get a live feed in their offices.

Besides this experiment, prevalent procedures would also be modified to check graft, officials said. For instance, the number of registration deeds to be executed in the tehsil offices may be scheduled.

“Entries of the deeds to be executed should be computerised and the intimation of the schedule be given to each applicant. This way, the applicant will get the deed document on a specified day and will be saved harassment,” an official explained.

Some other measures to check graft, like registration of vehicles and grant of vehicle fitness certificate through authorised automobile dealers, are also under consideration of the administration. These measures too would be taken up in the next meeting.
