How to develop a corruption
free society?
Police Dept.
I have a quarrel with my neighbor. He made a complaint
against me and my son to Police Station. The concerned
police officer threatened me that he could register an offence
against me & my son. I was in fear that after arresting me, I
will lose my job and my son’s future will be ruined. The police
officer asked me to give him Rs.25000/- for each of us, for not
recording an offence. I asked him that under which section he
was going to register an offence? He got angry and
threatened me that if I failed to fulfill his demand, he will
surely register an offence and he was not bound to tell me
the sections.
I am in dilemma- What is more important for meFuture of my son & my job
Or
Rs.50000/-?
What should I do?
Revenue
I required 7/12 utara of my farm. I visit Talathi office and
requested him to give the document. He took a written
application from me and asked me to come after 15 days. I
did as he said. After 15 days when I went to the office he
asked me some documents. Next day I gave him the
documents. He avoided to do my work for next 3 months.
Later he asked me that don’t I know how to get the work
done? And put some bugs under the table?
What should I do?
Health
My mother was suffering from Heart problem. I admitted her in
Govt. Hospital. She was in need of urgent surgery. The ward boy
asks me to give him Rs.2000/- to manage the doctor for speedy
procedure. I don’t have enough money for medication. I
requested him to get the work done first. Surgery of my mother
was performed successfully. But later on the ward boy asks
continuously for Rs.2000/-.
What should I do?
RTO
I am working with a private firm. I went to RTO for license.
The procedure was too lengthy. It was not possible for me
to spare so much time to visit the RTO office every time.
So I hired an agent. He told me that other than his
commission and regular fees I will have to pay some extra
money to the RTO officer (I wont get receipt of it),
otherwise I wont get the license.
What should I do?
Colleague of same Dept.
I am working in a government office. My family is residing
in some other city due to education of my daughter who is
studying in 12th. I had made an application to my senior
officer requesting him for transfer. But concerned clerk is
asking Rs.5000/- for moving the file. I gave him Rs.2000/as I was really fade up. I was transferred and joined my
duty to the new city. But the concerned clerk rings me
many times and asks for remaining money.
What should I do?
Corporation
I am a very poor person. My house is in a very bad
condition. It needs minor repairing from inside. I am not
going to change its structure. This is a common experience
that corporation wont give you permission at the earliest.
And as I have to do minor repairing, I started the work. But
the local corporator asks Rs.10,000/- for not informing
corporation about this illegal(?) work. He assured me that
he will manage everything after getting the amount. The
Mukadam of corporation is always seen with him. So I
better know that he could do it.
What should I do?
Women & child welfare dept.
This is a very shameful story. We are Adiwasis. My
daughter was victim of a rape. The case was registered.
One day we were called by Protection officer of Women
and Child welfare department. He told us that we could
get Rs.3,00,000/- under ‘Manodhairya Yojana’. He filled
some forms and took thumb of my daughter. And later on
he demanded us 20% of the amount in advance.
What should I do?
Excise dept.
I am a businessman. I have my own wine Shop and one gift
Shoppe too. Some excise officer do visit my wine shop and
then went to another gift Shoppe too. They always
threatened me that my license of wine shop will not be
renewed. They always used to pick up anything from any
of my shop. Or sometimes they use to pay me very little for
it. And now they are asking me to give each of them a
laptop on the occasion of Diwali.
What should I do?
BMC, Fire Brigade,PWD
I am a builder. I have to start my work on my new sight. I
need ‘No objection certificate’ from various departments
like BMC, fire brigade, PWD etc. But some officers from
various departments are asking me flats in concessional
rate. It is not affordable for me.
What should I do?
Educational Institute
I am a parent. I want to take admission of my son in the
college. The college is government aided. The institution is
asking me Rs.50,000/-. They are not giving me its receipt. If
I won’t give the money, my son won’t get the admission.
What should I do?
Registration Department
I purchased a flat. I went to registration office for its
registration. I requested the concerned officer to calculate
to stamp duty and registration fee and to tell me the
procedure . He insisted me to hire an agent. I show my
reluctance. Later for many days he harassed mesometimes by saying that my papers are not proper,
sometimes for giving me token number. At last he asked
me Rs.7,500/- for ignoring minor mistakes in my papers
and giving me token number. He says that this is their fix
rate.
