00:00Ananthapuram Municipal Revenue Department has become a center for illegal attacks
00:06The workers here are robbing the corporation and stealing crores of rupees
00:11Along with the very valuable land of the municipality, there are shop communities in the main streets
00:17Those who have shops in Velan can do business for 25 years
00:21According to the regulations, only those with Velam Patta should do business
00:24Every two years, they have to increase the total amount and do sales from time to time
00:29Even if the Velam Patta workers increase the amount to lakhs of rupees,
00:32all they have to do is tell the authorities
00:35Even if they don't increase the amount for 6 years, they won't give a notice
00:39They won't close the shop
00:41No matter how many people are employed by the shop owners in Velam Patta,
00:44the authorities don't even look at them
00:48Similarly, from the flower and fruit vendors in front of the shops,
00:51the Municipal Revenue Department is becoming a center for illegal attacks
00:56Even if the shop owners increase the amount to lakhs of rupees and take all the goods at night,
01:01they don't file any cases
01:03If the shop owners have 4.5 crores,
01:06we can understand how much bribes the shop owners have taken
01:18Out of 397 shops in the municipality,
01:21more than 90% of the shops are run by non-Velam Patta workers
01:26As per SCST, the Municipal Corporation has acquired 50% of the shops
01:31Out of these, no one is running the shops
01:35Even if the shops are given to others, the authorities don't care
01:40Even if 35 people don't pay the rent for 6 years,
01:43the Municipal Department's Commissioner, Revenue Sibbandhai,
01:46is giving water to the lemon
01:48The buildings in the Municipal Corporation,
01:51don't pay the rent properly,
01:55and give demand notices to the shop owners every month
01:58The authorities have ignored all these
02:02Due to this, the income that comes to the municipality is depleted
02:06Many shop owners don't pay the rent,
02:11they lock the shops and leave
02:15Due to this, the corporation officials seize the shops
02:19The Anantapur Municipal Corporation authorities are ignoring all these
02:26The leased shops are ready to pay up to 15-20 lakhs
02:36Due to this, the corporation's income is depleted
02:39In another 28 shops, 1.5 crore rupees were looted
02:43and the shops were vacated overnight
02:46No cases have been filed against them
02:48The shops near the market have arranged for wine
02:51The reason for the loss of these shops is the lack of authority
02:55The authorities don't collect the money
02:58If a person in a poori shop doesn't pay a small tax,
03:05he will be fined or the house will be seized
03:09There is no such situation in this city
03:13If shops are given to others, will they survive?
03:17It is very difficult for the municipality
03:20because the salaries are not being paid on time
03:24Many workers are starving
03:27The salaries are not being paid even after 3-4 months
03:33The reason for this is the lack of authority
03:37Two days ago, the corporation officials
03:41filed a complaint against the shopkeepers
03:44and the authorities
