Fake date of birth certificates- Anti-Corruption Bureau conducts raids in Corporation offices
Posted on: 30/Nov/2013 11:09:47 AM
The Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau carried out raids at the Corporation office because of the fake date of birth certificates. This follows the unearthing of irregularities in issuing of certificates earlier this week. The civic body is planning to evolve a new system to fix responsibility for uploading and validating the certificates.
Certificates of birth and death recorded in some major hospitals that already have provisions for uploading data directly have not been validated today.
The validation is done only after the hard copy of the registers from the hospitals is screened by public health department officials.
Residents can, however, download already validated birth certificates.
The work on uploading and validating new birth certificates will resume after a foolproof system is in place.
