SAID NO TO BRIBE

Reported on March 31, 2014 from Kanpur , Uttar Pradesh  ι Report #40334

While applying for the birth certificate in the municipal office of Kanpur Nagar I was asked for a Bribe of Rs. 600 . The officials there said that if I pay the bribe I will get the certificate in 2 days or else it will take more than 20 days.I clearly refused to pay the bribe and said that I will go by the proper way and will wait for 20 days. Well, today it had been around 4 months, but I still have not got my birth certificate. I have been visiting the office every week since the day I applied, but every time I keep getting excuses and name of various other government departments that I will have to visit to get the job done. Instead of doing all that I still haven't got any hopes of getting my Birth certificate. The certificate that takes less than 4 days for those who pay the bribe is taking me more than 4 months.
