He said that based on the details of the certificates given in the application, steps would be taken to issue the certificates by the officials of the concerned departments. The applications would be received for 10 days.

Every day in the evening the teams would collate the details department-wise and entries would be made in the register. After the survey process, special camps would be organised for the applicants who were not covered during the survey to receive applications, the Collector noted.

Steps would be taken to issue the certificates after getting all the certificates related to an applicant, they would be laminated and handed back to the applicant in a folder at home. The certificates would be issued free of cost as the government would pay Mee-Seva, Dharani and other fees as well as lamination costs, Khan revealed.

Similarly, special camps would be set up in 14 flood-affected divisions under Khammam Municipal Corporation limits and applications would be accepted from Tuesday onwards from those who have lost their certificates and valuable documents. The camps would be organised in municipal divisions 46, 47, 48, 11, 16, 17, 49, 28, 29, 30, 59, 60, 34 and 35.

Those who have urgent need of certificates for admissions, employment in foreign countries could call toll free number 1077 and proofs should be submitted through WhatsApp to 9063211298 regarding their emergency. Steps would be taken to provide provisional certificates to them within a week, the Collector added.
