New Delhi: Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has directed a comprehensive cross-verification of financial records for the past five years of government-linked enterprises involved in liquor sales, following concerns over irregularities and potential revenue loss.
The directive comes after it emerged that proper reconciliation of accounts had not been carried out at certain locations for an extended period, raising red flags over financial discrepancies and possible impact on the state exchequer.
To address the issue, the Chief Minister has ordered strict monitoring of accounts, with systematic reconciliation of all financial records. Authorities have been instructed to ensure thorough verification and validation at every stage of the process.
Issuing a stern warning, the Chief Minister stated that any irregularities or findings that adversely affect government revenue will invite stringent action against responsible officials and associated individuals.
All concerned institutions, along with the Excise Department, have been directed to prepare a detailed report of the verification process and submit it to the Finance Department within two months from the date of the order.
