31,000 fake certificates given by Mee Seva: GHMC vigilance team

Hyderabad: The Enforcement Vigilance and Disaster Management wing of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation recently submitted a report stating that around 31,000 fake certificates were distributed by Mee Seva centres across the city.

According to the report, of the 31,000 fake certificates, 27,000 are reportedly birth and death certificates, adding the deformity could have occurred due to technical issues, as well as taking bribes.

However, in some cases, it has been found that certificates were issued without the revenue division officer's (RDO) actions. The RDO's proceedings are mandatory for obtaining birth and death certificates under 'non-availability'.
