Visakhapatnam: The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) conducted surprise raids at the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) Zone 8 office in Visakhapatnam on Friday. The raids come in response to a surge in allegations of corruption within the town planning and revenue departments in recent times.
The ACB has intensified its efforts to root out corruption within the municipal administration, as more complaints continue to pour in from concerned citizens and whistleblowers. These allegations have raised serious concerns about the integrity of the local government's processes.
What makes this raid even more intriguing is the fact that some employees within the Zone 8 office seemed to have had prior knowledge of the impending ACB action. As a result, they managed to evade their duties and abscond from the office. This suggests a possible tip-off to certain employees within the office, raising questions about potential collusion in corrupt practices.
ACB officials have been questioning officials and staff within the Zone 8 office for several hours. The raid aims to uncover any evidence related to corruption and to gather information about any misconduct that may have occurred within the municipal administration.
The investigation is ongoing, and further details about the raid and the extent of the alleged corruption within the GVMC Zone 8 office are expected to emerge soon.
