Neeraganti Veeresh, the taluk president of the Akhila Karnataka Valmiki Nayaka Mahasabha, has called for strict action against the issuance of fake caste certificates in Kampli. Speaking at the Valmiki Jayanti celebration held on Monday at the taluk office conference hall, he stated that ST and Sindhu certificates should be distributed only to eligible Scheduled Caste members.
