Recently, an entrepreneur from Balirampur Nanded went to a Gram-Sevak to get a "Permission" from a Gram-Sevak for his Mineral Water Plant. The entrepreneur laid a trap through the Anti Corruption Department & caught the Gram-Sevak red-handed.

What can be the permission from a Gram-Sevak ?

If it's Mineral Water Plant, it can be as simple as a Gram -Panchayat NOC. Besides that, if it's an agricultural land etc, the matters go to the collector etc. If you want to run the plant in Gram-Panchayat Area, the Sarpanch or the Gram-Sevak will help you get this NOC, which actually is the starting point for all documentations for the plant.
