After the new government came to power corruption increased in the state.
“The government should introduce a GO to sack government officials who harass people and collect bribes,” Raja Singh demanded.
He appealed to the Hyderabad commissioner of police, C V Anand and Telangana DGP to streamline the cameras in police stations and install them everywhere to keep a close watch on happenings.
