Even as the digital India project is required to achieve a much-desired pace, the NaMo administration is scandalized by Down's syndrome impacting the portal of the country's anti-graft watchdog Central Vigilance Commission (CVC), which has not been functioning for about four months.
Indianmandarins has learned that the hard disk of CVC's portal crashed on November 28 and all data stored online till that date has been irretrievably lost. The problem has been compounded because the data was not backed up.
The portal was maintained by Tata Consultancy Services (TCS). To make matters worse, CVC's contract with TCS expired in December. There is no annual maintenance contract either between CVC and TCS.
After the scandalous incident, the Centre's web services organization, National Informatics Centre (NIC), took over the maintenance of the CVC's portal this year. NIC has also been trying to retrieve the old data but without much success.
Though new complaints can now be made with CVC and their details would be available, the particulars of almost all the previous cases have been permanently erased.
