To eliminate corruption upto a large extent - the interfacing between the government staff and the public should be eliminated. All requirements of paper work should be done on-line. Until total on-line connectivity is available forms should be available compulsorily at all government offices which should then be submitted by registered post. In Mumbai too, the Municipal authorities as well as the State Government authorities are known for their corrupt ways. There will not be a single building which will not be in violation of rules when completed. The footpaths are covered with shops, drains have shops on them, compounds where setback has been given for roads have shops built on them. Shops have extended beyond their built up areas. Slums have been patronised. 3 to 4 storey slum buildings exist and the construction is so precarious that even a mild earthquake will lead to a large scale loss of lives. Houses in the gaothans have encroached on the inner roads narrowing them down to 1-1.5 feet width. The entire system stinks and the revenue from hawkers, illegally extended structures, builder lobby is in crores. Almost 60% of the government staff and the corporators, MLA's have farm lands, or few houses, investments with the builders or shops in benami names. The connivance of the contractors,the politicians, bureaucrats is total leading to a huge loss in construction quality and siphoning of funds. When the system is so well compromised and favours the rulers why would the vested interested parties want to change? The AAP has its agenda set out for elimination of corruption and we must ask the people to give us a majority mandate in order to set up a system whereby all the loopholes can be eliminated. All should be given licenses if the conditions prescribed are met. more
