Bribery to get posting
- Health and Family Welfare
- Job Transfer
- Paid INR 10,00,000
Hi
This incident occurred with my mother who had to pay a sum of 10 lakh rupees to get a posting.She is a doctor and since january she was held under waiting for posting because she refused to pay a bribe last year and because of which the health minister at the end moment didnt considered her for transfer and even removed her from the place she was working.For six months she was forced to stay at home without any work which affected her health and our financial conditions.In the month of june,a medical equipment supplier contacted her and told that he will help her getting an appointment with the health minister plus also get her posted within a span of few days.She was left with no choice since she had to work for herself and also for us.The minister considered her immediately and was given posting in the month of july.
My mother told that she will be able to pay him fully only when she gets her salary but now she is not even getting her salary because of new regularization rules imposed by the government.And in order to do so everyone is again asking her to pay a handsome amount of money to get the regularization done.And in addition to this the medical equipment supplier now calls her everyday and threatens to remove her from her present location and again put her in waiting for posting list if she doesn't give the money within two weeks and even showed a message from the health minister stating the above statement.This is affecting her mentally and i am really worried about her.
I therefore request you to kindly go through the whole situation and do something to put an end to this.Because of such incidents it has become impossible for an honest citizen to get his/her work done.The whole health department works in this way only and the amount of bribery they ask rises with the position they hold.When the posting has to be done, literally a bidding is done as to who can pay more for a particular location and even after paying the price every few months the person has to bribe everyone in the health department to keep himself safe and be posted.While according to the rules the transfer and promotion should be done on the basis of qualification and experience.
I would kindly request you to keep me as an anonymous citizen and do look into the situation.I cannot name a specific person since there are lot of individuals involved who are directly in contact with the health minister and his PA and gets the price quoting done.A solution needs to be found so that the trust on the government officials continue and honest individuals can get their work done as a result of their right and without paying a price.
