This is expected to help them issue timely instructions and guidance to ensure that investigations progress appropriately, the Minister said.The Minister also released the user manual for VACB SUITE 3.0 and distributed the newly designed uniforms for Vigilance personnel. Badges of Honour were also presented to Vigilance officers on the occasion. Published - September 25, 2026 07:57 pm IST
