A draft bill designed to tackle the growing issue of paper leaks is set to be introduced in the Lok Sabha tomorrow. The proposal seeks to establish a clear framework for investigating such incidents, mandating that any inquiry be completed within a two‑month window.
The legislation would require relevant authorities to initiate investigations promptly and report findings within the stipulated period. By setting a fixed deadline, the bill aims to reduce delays that have historically hampered the resolution of leak cases.
Supporters argue that a structured timeline will deter potential offenders and enhance transparency in handling sensitive documents. Critics, however, raise concerns about the feasibility of completing thorough investigations in such a short span.
The bill will be debated in the lower house, with members expected to discuss its provisions and potential impact on administrative processes across the country.
