The Delhi government will file by early next month a detailed response on Shunglu committee findings to home ministry which has asked it to explain its position and the action taken on the report that indicted chief minister Sheila Dikshit for alleged Commonwealth Games irregularities.
"We are preparing a detailed report as response to the Shunglu committee findings. It will be sent to the home ministry early next month," top sources in the government said today.
The home ministry has sent the report of the Shunglu committee to Delhi government, Delhi Development Authority and New Delhi Municipal Council and asked them to explain their position on the findings of the panel within a month.
The ministry asked the agencies to explain their position on the findings of the Shunglu committee, appointed by the prime minister to look into corruption in the conduct of the Commonwealth Games, and what action they were taking on it.
The city government, which already rejected the findings of the panel as a "product of paranoia", had sent a brief report to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh last month, trashing the report.
In the brief report, the government had rejected almost all the findings of the panel and instead accused it of deliberately choosing to adopt a logic of "convenience" in finding corruption in every policy and every tender of the government.
The government is now preparing a detailed report in response to the Shunglu committee findings.
The city government has already asked officials whose names figure in the Shunglu committee report to submit their response in writing to the government as soon as possible.
The Shunglu committee has submitted six reports on broadcasting, Games Village, city infrastructure, Games venues, Organising Committee and Main Report -- Organisation and Conduct of Commonwealth Games 2010.
The report on city infrastructure was referred to the home ministry by the PMO for appropriate action on the queries raised by the Shunglu panel in works done by the city government-controlled departments.
The administration of Delhi, being the Union Territory, comes under the control of home ministry.
