I PAID YET I WAS DENIED COMPLETION OF MY WORK

Reported on July 21, 2011 from Katni , Madhya Pradesh  ι Report #6379

It has happened umpteen times that an individual has paid bribe but denied the aim for which he/she has paid bribe. I paid bribe for getting an NOC from regional forest office for my Environmental Clearance (EC) application which was filed in Bhopal.The office in Bhopal asks the regional office the distance of forest boundaries from the said project. I submitted the valid documents which justified the distance from forest boundary but the regional office, knowingly or unknowingly, they better know, did not mention one particular khasra no. in its letter which resulted in difference in the total area of the said project. When i confronted the authorities, it was clear that it was an error on their part because i had given them valid & true dociments & paid a bribe also which they demanded, but one clerk refused to admit it & told me that they will have to go the whole process again. That means 6 steps forward & 7 steps back for me. I wonder if they are humans at all!!
