BJP Councillor Arun Sood Wednesday alleged that some officials of the fire department while asking commercial establishment owners to apply for a No-Objection Certificate (NOC), were forcing the latter to buy fire equipment from one particular shop.
During the General House meeting of the Municipal Corporation, Sood further said that one of the owners was even asked to pay a “penalty” for not purchasing the material from the shop which was told by the official.
Municipal Commissioner K K Yadav asked Sood to tell the complainant to approach him and said that he will request the Chief Vigilance Officer (UT Advisor) to order a vigilance inquiry into the matter
