OPEN CORRUPTION AROUND 15 KM FROM SAKALESHPUR TOWARDS MANGALORE, THERE IS A CHECK POST, WHERE ONE CAN SEE THE OFFICAIL ASKING AND TAKING RS. 100/- PER TRUCK PASSING. THE POLICE IS STANDING WITH A STICK ON THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND STOPPING THE STRUCK. HE STRECHS HIS HAND TO THE DRIVER AND THE DRIVER WHO IS READY WITH THE MONEY HAND OVER IT. THERE IS NO CHECKING OF THE PAPERS OR THE GOODS WHICH THEY CARRY. I SAW THIS BY SITING ON A KSRTC BUS, TRAVELLING FROM MANGALORE AND THE BUS WAS FULL OF COMMUTERS. I WAS ASTONISHED TO SEE THIS AS THESE OFFICERS HAD NO FEAR IN THEIR MIND IF OTHERS NOTICED IT. IT MEANS THAT THIS IS GOING ON DAILY AND SINCE LONG AS THEY ARE NOT CAUGHT. HOPE THE AUTHORITY CONCERNED WILL VISIT THE SPOT SECRETLY, AND CATCH THE CORRUPT OFFICIALS ON THE SPOT AND BE GIVEN MAXIMUM PUNISHMENT AS THIS IS THE REASON OUR COUNTRY IS FALLING PRAY TO TERRORIST ATTACKS.
