The issue of file burning in government offices in Andhra Pradesh continues to escalate. Notably, files from the Madanapally Sub Collectorate and Vijayawada Pollution Control Board offices have already been destroyed in these incidents.
As investigations unfold, cases have been filed in connection to these incidents, resulting in multiple arrests and detentions. Authorities are delving into the potential involvement of past government officials in this destructive pattern of burning official documents.
A recent incident at the East Godavari District Dhavaleswaram Irrigation Office revealed a similar fate for crucial documents. Upon discovery of burnt documents suspected to be related to land acquisition for the Polavaram project, Special Deputy Collector Vedavalli swiftly initiated an examination. Although some documents were salvageable, the suspicious circumstances surrounding the burnt papers raise concerns.
Calls for thorough inquiries have been made, particularly regarding the conduct of the Superintendent of the Dhavaleswaram Irrigation Office, who allegedly left duty without authorization. Additionally, allegations suggest a systemic cover-up of corruption involving the deliberate burning of files across various departments, echoing similar incidents at the Madanapally Sub Collectorate.
The unfolding situation has sparked political tension, with conflicting narratives emerging between the ruling and opposition parties. Former officials have condemned each other’s statements, highlighting the divisive nature of the file burning incidents in Andhra Pradesh’s government offices.
