Problem:
Be it a passport office or an office of the municipality, revenue department or the office of the SDM the citizens face all kinds of problems and are forced to give bribes to get their work done.
It could be driving license or a birth certificate, it could be a death certificate or verification of land records, it could be complaint for a blocked drain or an application for getting electrical power, a citizen is forced to pay bribes to the government officials.
Suggestion:
Verification certificates for cast, income, residence proof etc should be issued by the panchayat office. In case if the panchayat secretary shows lack in his duty then he should be called to the
gram Sabha for questioning. In any case the Gram Sabha has the power to reprimand and penalize the secretary for his acts of disobedience.
Passports, driving licenses, electricity and water connections should be given to citizens within a specified time after receiving an application. If time lines are not met then the concerned official
should be fined suitably.
