Bureaucrats are he root cause for the problems, especially for twisting and delaying tactics to get their wants fulfilled. However please don't forget that they are used as ladles by corrupted political Babus. We talk about corruption at lower level. If the highest authority is clean, cleanliness naturally penetrates into the whole system and everything becomes perfect. If that is difficult, switch over to privatisation, by which, at least quality service can be expected even if costs little dearer more
