Weekly or Monthly Bribes to Administration

- A lot of shop owners or businesses are run in illegal buildings, stores, footpath etc. These owners pay a sum as bribe to concerned officials like municipal officials, police, etc. They in turn protect them and despite complaints raised against such illegal buildings and businesses no action is taken. - There are parking areas in apartments that have been converted into godowns where packing material is stored - these are potentially cause for fires and danger to lives. These are also illegal and against the building permissions given by the municipality. - These businesses throw their garbage into manholes, on the roadside and build illegal ramps causing water logging, overflowing sewers etc. - They illegally tap electricity in connivance with the electricity dept. This causes an overload of the transformers and frequent power cuts due to the transformer tripping. - They bribe the water dept to regularly supply them with water tankers that are meant for the slums and other water troubled areas. - Illegal restaurants are potential health hazards with rotting food and meat being thrown into the sewers and drains. With fire hazard concerns due to floor and walls covered with grease and no safety precautions at all. - As these people are in illegal establishments or on the footpath their customers park on the road or on the footpath causing traffic issues for vehicles and for pedestrians. - A lot of these establishments serve liquor illegally and are a major concern for the safety of the residents and the old people living in this area. - Unfortunately the people living in these spaces are also equally to be blamed. Most people have an excuse to look the other way and pretend they can't see what is happening, a lot are scared of taking on these people as not only are the various govt depts protecting them but they also have contacts with the underworld, many believe that if one does not bribe things don't move or get done - therefore going with the flow is easier than taking a stand. more  

I wrote this to MCD(text below). Except for the acknowledgement, sweet nothing has happened so far, neither will. I formally complained to CVC against an Engineer 'Mr Mishra from PWD', for being corrupt . Sweet nothing has happened, neither will. a few years back SC sealed all such encroachers. Govt made SC shut up through the lollipop called 'Mixed Use Policy' and the black business goes on as usual with elevated muscle and money power. I had been getting threats to my life from the RWA President and one of the enchroachers selling old cars. He uses the busiest junction on outer ring road on as a showroom for his sale/purchase routine. Madhuban chowk is a prostitution center. The colony is a heaven for thieves, drunkards, gamblers, and all other such related trades. Parking space gets prioritized in favor of the bullies. Extra in-out gates provided by the RWA Managers, as luxury to the enchroachers, add to the traffic chaos. With due support from RWA Managers, they won't let a security wall come up around the colony. Words can't explain the horrifying state of traffic here, simply because come what may happen, business must go on. Pedestrians have died in accidents. Traffic police has a well tugged in and well camouflaged post better structured than a military bunker. Once in a while 2 or three traffic police constables can be seen concentrating more on chatting rather than traffic. Administratively well provided and professionally ill equipped policemen can be conveniently seen lazying there. to sum up they are generally conspicuous by their absence. Police beat constable does no better There are no supervisory and senior level on ground checks on them. Their timings and charter of duties are never made public. Encroachers bribe RWA Managers, MCD, Police, Traffic Police, PWD even the residents and anybody else who may matter, to stay anchored since the colony came into being in 83. Most of the formal DDA market shops bang on the junction itself, are lying sealed since 82. It is the time when the Market came into being. There are no takers. Obviously encroached business works out much cheaper and it hurts no one except the tax payer. This is a brief description of entire Delhi ! nay India. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MCD on line RTI format is non-functional since ages. Subjects of the Grievance is also dictated by the drop down menu which does not have 'ILLEGAL ENCHROACHMENT OF RESIDENTIAL SPACE BY COMMERCIAL JOINTS' as the menu option. the colony is located bang on the busiest traffic junction 'Madhuban Chowk', epicenter of Rohini and pitampura.

@ J Toprani: It's easy to say don't pay bribe but when your child is sick and the only way to get a bed in hospital is by bribing the tout would you say I won't bribe? This is reality! So we must hunt and erase the very root of criminals and corruption... And that is the government run by criminals, let us not dream but be realistic. Find a possible solution to replace criminal government with true republic more  

Are you proud of being Indian ? If you do not accept the system of bribing then you may not progress for sometime but remember if you keep trying it will work !
