Corruption in government offices

This refers to the article, "No sense of shame", (Business Line, October 21).

According to the report, around Rs 21,068 crore is paid annually as bribes by Indians to get basic services to which they are entitled from public bodies. Our government offices are facing a paucity of staff.

Many government employees are overworked.

This, in turn, leads to piling up of cases that drag on for months or years.

To check such malpractices the government should fill up vacancies in all the State and Central government offices, weed out unnecessary formalities and allot overloaded government employees with work.
