Chandigarh Police Register FIR Over Fake Municipal Vending Permits
Chandigarh police have registered an FIR against unidentified individuals for issuing fake municipal corporation vending permits, discovered during a challan drive in Sector 22 market. Around 12-13 suspected counterfeit permits were found, with two confirmed genuine and others under investigation. Vendors reportedly paid between Rs 2,000 and Rs 3,000 for these permits, which falsely showed extended validity beyond the festival period. Authorities are investigating the source of the counterfeit slips, which appear to share the same application number, and suspect the racket may extend to other city markets during the festive season.
