I was asked for heavy amount of bribe for a transfer.

Hoping that this portal is for even those government servants who face hardships during their service for not bribing, I would like the admin of this portal to publish this story. Yes... I too am a government servant. i have been serving the government for the past 15 years. Since I am not ready to bribe the revenue minister, I am working in a far away place from my family and when once I approached the revenue minister to request him not to disturb me as I was nursing my child, he directly asked for 2 lakh rupees as bribe. I could not afford such huge sum of money as I am clean handed. Then I was left with no choice than proceeding on transfers every time I find my name in the transfers list. My superiors torture me badly for being clean handed in the fear of being caught. Harassment in the office includes sexual harassment also.

I read many stories of public here who have paid bribe but I have taken many hardships but not have bribed anyone nor have I received from anyone. Is this site only for public? Where do the government servants like me get reddresel from?

Why have you not published stories of those who have not paid bribe anytime anywhere? There is no recognition for sincere work in government and not even the public appreciate the good work of government servant. When you have given an opportunity for the people who have bribed the government servant to burst out, a chance for clean handed government servant should also be given. People who are happy with the work of government servants never report that unlike they rise voice and find all routes and means to report a mistake of government servant.

People to bribe the government servant definitely are benefited with some undue advantage from the government or the government servant. Why are such people not punished?

This website seems only to criticise the government servant rather than fighting or eradicating corruption and lacks trouble shooting scenario on the whole.

Corruption is like venomous tree which should be up-routed rather than plucking the tender leaves.

I appreciate the concept but the methodology you guys are following is very weak. You are targeting the weaker few safeguarding yourself from the corrupt mighty mass.

What is your reaction after reading this report?
