HYDRAA probes 56 fake fire NOCs, rejects Rs 10.8 crore claim

The Story in Brief

HYDRAA has opened an inquiry after finding 56 fake fire no-objection certificates linked to colleges within Hyderabad’s Outer Ring Road limits. The agency said it found eight certificates during its first review and 44 more later, then complained to Lake Police Station and informed the Board of Intermediate Education.

HYDRAA said the review began after a complaint involving Haindavi Junior College, owned by BRS leader Gaddam Srinivas Yadav. It denied a TeluguScribe report alleging officials collected Rs 6 lakh per college and ran a Rs 10.8 crore scam. A joint committee will examine the certificates. HYDRAA issues NOCs for buildings below 15 metres within the ORR, while taller buildings fall under the Fire Department. Documents can be checked through QR codes.

The Indian Opinion

The easy political story is that a college linked to a BRS leader proves a party-wide racket. The equally convenient counter-story is that every allegation is fabricated. Neither follows from the facts available. The real test is whether the joint committee identifies who issued the 56 certificates, whether prosecutions follow, and whether every college’s QR-coded record matches the official register.
