Corruption on Tatkal.........!!!

Hiiiiiiiii to All!!!

Welcome to RaaMa BaaNaM...........Here is for u a reality that one of my friend encountered recently that he shared when I was travelling to my home town last week

He is a student studying B.Tech Final Year in one of the famous engg colleges in my home town. His aim is to write GRE and do his higher studies in abroad... :)

The conversation went like this.........

Me: Hi, Whats Up?
Frnd: Hi, R u working?
Me: Iam Ram, working here in hyd.
Frnd: okay, I am doing my final year b.tech in Guntur.
I came here to hyd 10 days back to apply for passport on tatkal. But.....
Me: What Happended?
Frnd: I have spent 6000Rs for that.......
Me: Oh my god!!! What is the actual cost?
Frnd: Its around 2500-3000Rs
Me: Then...Why ?
Frnd: What should I say ? I got disgusted in last 10 days. I was wandering around the Regional Passport Office from last 10 days for the passport on tatkal. they are not giving me slot at all. I used to go by 2am and stand in the queues there upto 1pm in the afternoon. Oh god!!! I have seen the hell almost with this experience.
Me:Okay.....
Frnd:  Everywhere corruption anna!!! To enter into passport office, we have to give min. of 500Rs to the police at the gate.Other wise they will not allow.Like this the total expenses went to 6000Rs. Corruption has grown to that level where at the time of stamping finally on the passport, the guy who stamps on the passport asked me another 1000Rs extra..I was very unhappy with that.......
Me: Oh god!!! We cant do anything...The society became like that..Even though we think abt that for sometime, that we have to do something to change this...after sometime we take it light and follow the same to get the work done......
Frnd:Ofcourse, what we can do? There are my frnds who applied for GRE date and waiting for passport to come. As u know without passport they will not allow to write exam. he already postponed date two times. Thats why I came here to apply on tatkal. And this is what i faced.
Me: Okay
Frnd: Really too much of corruption anna!!! Police Dept and Agents...and Passport Office Staff itself...
cant leave any one of those. Everyone have their own way of doing it(corruption).
We have to complaint to someone, this should taken to the notice of the superiors....
Me: Bro!!! They will also have their part in this. Central Govt should take care of these things. I think i recently got a mail with a link to post these kind of complaints..i dont remember exactly...
Frnd: hmmmmmm

Like that the conversation went and by the end of our discussion we almost reached our hometown. Really it was so sad the corruption was increasing day by day in the country.

From the conversation, U cleary come to know how is the situation in the Regional Passport Office, Hyderabad.

Not only in RPO, its in RTO,etc.

So, Please DO NOT ENCOURAGE CORRUPTION
