    Corruption is the only important part in politics which force people to join political parties.
    It is very hard to figure out those leaders who never involved in corruption and work only for betterment of the state or country.

    The Records are the most important documents related to once property or rights.
    Keeping such thieves paid by Government salary and spit extortion-ed by officers of common people, How come these kind of people get government jobs?. In USA or UK offices related to properties their govenment officials are very strict and even inform police if people come to office with fraudulent intentions or to change documents for fraudulent purposes. Mangalore sub registrars office infected with corrupted brats since 50 years. Even our ancestors property worth crores was duped by one of sub registrar office due to he corrupted act. This was in 1991-1992. They change documents even for 500 rupees. So anyone having properties in Mangalore must make sure they check their Records every year with a certified copy. Hope the documents will not be changed or may be owner name might change in the name of Amar, Akbar or Anthony. In front property issues no honesty, religion or truth prevails. Even godly person becomes crazy.

    All know most of the government employees in tahasildar's office, municipal corporation office, VA offices etc. take bribe without fear and shame for doing citizens' work.

    Without bribe, they make people run several times for getting their work done or will not move their files. Why don't ACB take strict action on these public servants?

    The poor people have to struggle by paying their hard earned money as bribe to these corrupted employees for getting their property registered, corrections in property documents, licence for building new houses etc. The surveyors too take bribe for surveying property. There are many homeless people who have a dream to build their own houses. The revenue department already charges more fees in corporation areas. So building of houses for middle class people will be very difficult. ACB should work honestly and take responsibility of punishing these corrupted employees. They should create fear among corrupted employees so that they do not ask bribe anymore.

    Cynthia Kirem ,baye Cynthia ,dont worry that he lost job.He himself was responsible for his loss.One should control his assets .I am sure he has already collected enough.whatever it is people must stop collecting extras from innocent people.specially in this department they collect maximum.without extra money ,they dont even touch the files.
