Chandigarh, Mar 6 (UNI) The Punjab Cabinet today decided to abolish the Punjab State Vigilance Commission (PSVC), which was set up by the previous government.

The decision was taken at the first meeting of the new Cabinet held under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Prakash Singh Badal.

While taking the decision, the Council of Ministers decided to repeal the PSVC Act, 2006, by bringing a Punjab State Vigilance Commission Repeal Bill, 2007 in the 1st session of the 13th Vidhan Sabha beginning on March 15.

The Cabinet was of the view that PSVC, set up under the Act, was not likely to achieve the desired objectives as there was a full-fledged Vigilance Department.

This is the first decision of the previous Congress government that the SAD-BJP government has decided to overturn.
