Model legislation

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad has said his government has approved the tough anti-corruption legislation to confiscate the property amassed by a public servant disproportionate to his or her income (Jan.5).

This is a model to be followed not only by the other State Governments but also by the Centre.

Mr. Azad's focus on the development of the State and his desire to run a clean, efficient, and corruption-free government are laudable.

His efforts will certainly pave the way for peace and prosperity in the trouble-torn State. Mr. Azad should be well-supported by the Centre in his endeavour.
