  • well done !

  • 4. Occasional sting operations must be done in govt. offices where transactions are routinely made only against bribes. Such video evidences must be final for inflicting severe punishment to the bribe receiver. There won't be need for paying bribes if the officials, who are already paid handsomely after so many heftily increased pay scales, start doing their duties with full efficiency, to justify their salaries.

  • 3. I said corruption may have even increased not decreased, notwithstanding RTI. Example: Registrar offices for registering property transactions. Huge bribes paid thru an agent alone can work, to get registration done and obtain documents like 'katha transfer' (for authentication of property title).Bribes are calculated proportionate to property values and routed throughagents (for "services").ALL FORMS MUST BE SIMPLIFIED AND APPLICANTS MUST BE HELPED BY SPECIAL CLERKS TO FILL THEM OUT.

  • 2.We the people must ensure that all public offices are made to do their duties efficiently and as a matter of duty for what they are paid by the people (thru salaries).Even with the advent of RTI, corruption in most offices is the rule and may have even increased. Hence a regime of severe punishment along with RTI alone can be a major tool to root out corruption in India. All govt.officials should be asked to serve like friends and eschew any air of lording over people.

  • I congratulate those who made this video for this very useful service.Corruption in India is routine, not just an uncommon event, and is almost universal, from top to bottom,while transacting with govt. (or other public) offices. Bribe has become the speed money pocketed by the corrupt public "servants" for just doing their duty promptly. RTI is a great achievement, but cannot be a routine recourse.

  • Good Job!

  • Nice dramatization, AID SD! Thanks for the information.
