Corruption in every govt office in Odisha

Reported on January 26, 2013 from Sambalpur , Orissa  ι Report #65

What ever govt transactions I have done in past in any govt office in Odisha, I had force to pay bribe to everywhere. It might be as low as Rs 50 but it has a exponential rise upwards.

Recently, I had to pay Rs 150/- for a birth certificate of my daughter in the municipal office at Sambalpur city. And they ask for money to each and every person like its a govt fees. Forget about the bribe, even we have to buy the 2 page application for Rs 3/- from inside the office and this selling of free application forms are like norms in Odisha. And with my little knowledge I can say the root cause of it is the politicians, who thinks politics is a profession to earn heavy quick money.

What is your reaction after reading this report?
