Srinagar, Jan 01(NVI): In a significant move towards digital governance and transparency, the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) of Jammu and Kashmir has officially transitioned to a fully electronic challan system.

Effective today, all ACB branches will submit case challans exclusively through the Crime & Criminal Tracking Network and System (CCTNS), marking the end of manual FIR registrations and paper-based submissions.

The initiative aims to streamline the challan filing process, enhance record-keeping, and expedite case management. To facilitate the shift, CCTNS labs have been established in all eight ACB police stations, and 18 officials have undergone specialized training to operate the system. Investigating Officers (IOs) are now required to input detailed case information into CCTNS, with supervisory officers withholding approval of challans until all required data is recorded.

“This transition marks a milestone in our fight against corruption,” said a senior ACB official. “The adoption of technology will ensure efficiency, transparency, and accountability in our operations.”

The ACB’s digital leap reflects its commitment to modernizing processes and strengthening anti-corruption mechanisms across Jammu and Kashmir. (News Vibes of India)
