Nizamabad: District Collector M Rammohan Rao told the people not to pay money to get their works done to stop corruption. He was the chief guest at the concluding day of weeklong programme of International Anti-Corruption Day at Rajiv Gandhi Auditorium here on Monday. The weeklong programmes were conducted from December 3 to 9.
The Collector felt awareness among the public had reduced corruption to some extend and hoped that this will continue to totally eradicate corruption in the society. This is possible only with public awareness, he added. He warned the authorities not to engage in corruption as they have discretionary powers.
