Remembering an Honest Ofiical

Posted on December 04, 2012

 

“I wanted to somehow convey my wishes to Mr ******* also for helping me out without taking any bribe.  So I bought a sweet box and gave to his family and went to the office. He was furious at me because he learned of the sweet box that I had given to his family. He returned that sweet box and scolded me for abusing him of that way. After 14 years, I remember his name even today because he was such a sincere officer. I hope the government will recognize such people and reward them amicably.”

 

A very rare situation indeed, this report makes an interesting read.

 

A respondent from Hyderabad recalls the name of an honest official he met way back in 1999. The honest official helped the respondent avail his passport without charging a penny as bribe.  Read the report and tell us if you have a similar story to share. Have you met an honest official?
