The Story in Brief
Kumram Bheem Asifabad Collector K. Haritha on Friday suspended panchayat secretary Shainy Thirupathi and sacked computer operator Neelesh for issuing a fake birth certificate at the Sirpur (T) mandal centre. The two officials entered the birth of Ponna Srinidhi on the unified portal for births and deaths even though her name was not registered in the physical birth register. An inquiry found them guilty of flouting norms, leading to the action.
The Indian Opinion
This action is a routine administrative follow-up, but some may exaggerate it as proof of rampant corruption in the panchayat system. Others might dismiss it as an isolated error. The Collector’s swift response shows that existing checks work when enforced. The real test will be whether the state government orders an audit of the entire birth registration portal in Sirpur mandal.
