Govt's zero tolerance against corruption will eradicate the menace, hopes President

Speaking on the occasion of the Vigilance Awareness Week 2024, she said prompt legal action against corrupt persons is extremely important. Delay in action or weak action encourages unethical persons.

The President was, however, of the view that every action and person should not be viewed with suspicion. "We should avoid this. Keeping in mind the dignity of the person, no action should be motivated by malice. The objective of any action should be to establish justice and equality in the society," she added.
