BRS leader targets government over fake Fire NOC scam
A political leader in the Indian state of Telangana said that some people in the government were doing bad things.
He said that some junior colleges copied the signature of an important official without permission.
The colleges used the fake signatures to get special safety papers called Fire NOCs.
With those papers, they got permission to do things they were not allowed to do.
The leader said the people in charge of checking these papers did not notice the fake signatures.
He said even the police did not act after a complaint was made about the fake signatures.
He blamed the Chief Minister because he is in charge of the departments where this happened.
The Chief Minister is in charge of education, home, and city administration.
The leader thinks the Chief Minister should catch the people who made the fake papers.
He wants things to be fair and honest again.
BRS State General Secretary RS Praveen Kumar alleged that corruption and forgery are rampant in Telangana state departments.
Junior college managements allegedly forged the signature of HYDRAA Commissioner Ranganath to obtain Fire NOCs.
The forged Fire NOCs were used to secure illegal permissions from Intermediate Education Department officials.

HYDRAA officials lodged a complaint at Lake View Police Station, but Praveen Kumar said police failed to take action.
