Bribe for new connection(Electricity)

Reported on April 7, 2011 from Chennai , Tamil Nadu  ι Report #9797

Well,we have been living in a one bedroom apt for 15 years(rent). So finally we constructed a small independent home (1/2 ground) and guess what the construction got completed on January. Till now we have not received electricity connection. I don't want to describe every step (It would need pages)..Finally the officer to sign (approval) showed a typewriter 2 shops away and I had paid 14000 rs to him. Then he signed. Then billing guy asked 650rs and we paid it and then I thought we would get meter, but it seems they take meters out only on tuesday and friday and we have to pay to that guy who sheds out meters from stock room, then the guy who comes and installs in your home , otherwise, he says some priority, seniority etc etc for more delays..So far, still we are bargaining with him for 2750 rs . Hope would get it this friday. Just praying to god to get the meter set ..am really tired...
