The Government of Nagaland has directed all departments to extend full cooperation to the Special Investigation Team (SIT) constituted to investigate cases of fraudulent drawal of multiple salaries, including salary along with life pension, from more than one source within the State Government by government employees.

In a circular issued by the Personnel & Administrative Reforms Department (PIMS Cell) on September 3, the Government directed all departments to ensure that any requisition, request or communication received from the SIT is attended to on priority.

The Departments have been instructed to furnish the required documents and information accurately, completely and within the stipulated time frame specified by the SIT.

The respective Drawing and Disbursing Officers (DDOs) and officers in charge of establishment matters have been directed to coordinate with the SIT and facilitate the timely collection, authentication and transmission of records.

The circular further stressed that confidentiality, integrity and proper custody of all documents and information shared during the investigation must be maintained.

The government cautioned that any delay, non-compliance or incomplete submission could adversely affect the investigation process and would be viewed seriously. Heads of Departments have, therefore, been requested to personally ensure strict compliance with the instructions.
