Bribe Paid to Municipal Corporation Staff to Repair of Drinking Water Pipeline

Reported on April 9, 2015 from Madurai , Tamil Nadu  ι Report #58231

Suddenly there is a block in our drinking water pipeline. As per the rule of the municipal corporation this repair work should be done by a licensed plumber. The fee to be remitted to the municipal corporation is fixed as Rs. 350. And for the labor charge to two laborers is about Rs. 1,000 per day labor at Rs. 500 per person. There is no change of parts. Hardly it is required only Rs. 1,500 to repair the pipe line. Whereas I have been asked to pay Rs. 8,000 as the balance amount is to be shared by many officials of the concern department staffs from peon to engineer and to even to the councilor of the ward.
