Extent of Corruption in Telangana

Corruption has increased after formation of Telangana. State govt. officials are not worried about the punishment and openly harassing the public. A glittering example of my own case is given for your reference. I purchased a plot of 240 sq.yard in 1998 before Ghatkesar from a real estate developer name Sreenidhi homes by paying money in installments from my salary savings(1997-1998). In the year 2010, Ghatkesar bypass was constructed over it and we lost the major area of the land i.e. 212 sq.yard out of 240 sq.yard. Since the plot is in my wife name, For getting the money back we both are running behind the officials like Revenue Division Office from that time till date. We requested that if the money cannot be given at least a plot of same size may be given to us. Inspite of writing many letters and submitting by hand and by speed post to the concerned authorities like District Collectors, RDO officers, MRO and NHAI etc. no body has even written a letter back to us that we are looking into the matter. When I have provided the copies of land document and bank account number to the concerned authorities along with the identity proof why the amount i not transferred. This is the height of corruption. Wherever they feel they can make money, they will talk to you and ask for money. I have decided not to give even a single paisa from my pocket as the plot was purchased by my hard earned money. Let them keep the money with them. more  

It is GOLDEN Telangana so we take only money worth of Gold or Diamonds as Bribes - Off laate corrupt are taking it as pride to earn money by wrong means - Values are at their lowest ebb. more  

It is institutionalised in most of the states .More so in state departments, municipalities. more  

in spite of high salaries , corruption has increased , most people pay bribes to get their work done and not for asking favours more  

It is a reflection of society - everyone is willing to bribe to expedite work and happy to demand it. It starts with the voter who expects free giveaways and multiplies as it extends to politicians and bureaucrats! Sad situation- unless there are major political reforms this disease is here to stay! May be it is just huma nature? more
