    @PA Shanu : as far as i know Mr. Mane, personally, hez a gem of a person ready to help the needy. and Lokayukta department of udupi is very trustworthy n efficient. all in there are good and the best, though they mite have previous records, but in this deptmnt they work with honesty.

    Does these Lokayukta officials take bribe to catch corrupt officials? Are they free from corruption? Is there an office to catch them if at all they take a bribe?

    the hottest section is the inspection one. the guy comes is a jeep and starts abusing all, saying that he is going to confiscate the goods which are in the vehicle. probably must have paid quite a lot to get that particular seat. just recovering his investment. minimum of Rs.5,000 per check, on the pretext that some or other document is missing.

    All previous Lokayukta cases were disposed of like Lokayukta proposes, Govt. disposes. This case wd also be identical.

    If you ask me the whole bloody dept is corrupt. Even the commercial tax, sales tax and central excise. we have been trying since more than a month to get C-Forms in Mangalore and they are making us go through hell for that.

    Isn't it common knowledge that this happens in every govt. office and dept? If all such officials were similarly rounded up we would need detention centres on our maidans and playgrounds! Most of our politicians would be there too!

    As usual Lokayukta has caught a very small fish. The big sharks and whales are having a whale of a time without any fear.
