Swachh Surveyor Caught taking Bribe
A member of the Quality Council of India's (QCI) team, on a visit to Aurangabad for the Swachh Bharat Mission Survey , was arrested late on Saturday night from a top hotel while accepting a bribe of Rs 1.7 lakh from a Deputy Commissioner of the Aurangabad Municipal Corporation. The bribe was for including the city in the top-20 list of the mission.
Even Swachh Bharat has become another avenue for corruption. Perhaps it is time now for Government to stop spending Tax payer's money on such Surveys and consider removing Swachh Bharat Cess. It will be more productive to create awareness on cleanliness.
As per photographs published in Times of India open defecation is taking place even now in Mumbai. more
