A significant fire broke out at the Sub-Collector’s office in Madanapalle, Annamayya district, causing extensive damage to the building and destroying vital documents related to land holdings and government departments. Despite the destruction of physical records, digital copies remain intact.
The fire occurred just before IAS officer Megha Swaroop was set to assume her duties as the new Sub-Collector. The incident has sparked suspicions among locals and officials, particularly due to recent allegations of unauthorized land acquisitions and corruption during the YSRCP government.
