I had to get my building plan sanctioned. I approached a known person in the department. He directed me to contact certain person. I submitted my plan along with relevant documents. However there was delay. Again through the known person I contacted the concerned engineer. He said some alterations in the plan. My friend advised him to make revised plan at his level itself and expedite the matter. At last the revised plan was done by the Jr. Engr. and he demanded bribe. First I paid Rs.4000 as per earlier demand. But again at the time of handing over the sanctioned plan he demanded further Rs.2000 saying he has to give to his higher official. I had to pay that amount too. In total I paid Rs.6000/- in spite of going though a known person of the same department. The engineer who took bribe was a very young man. If at this age he could earn like this means then how much he could earn in his entire service? But ultimately I could not use my sanctioned plan since I could not mobilise finance for construction. I was at the fag end of my service and I was not eligible for Bank loan. I am not getting pension also. I have to live on the interest earned by deposit of my terminal benefits in a Bank. My Rs.6000/- bribe has gone waste. Other earlier bribe cases were very small amount about 28 years back. At that time I paid a bribe of Rs.50 only for sanction of plan. Subsequently when after two years in 1982, at the time of assessment, a Jr. engineer was bribed Rs.200 which he demanded openly. Like that I paid small amounts of Rs.5 Rs.100 to police personnel about more than two decades ago. At that time the amount was reasonable. I have many other interesting corruption cases gathered through my friends which I shall narrate later. 9272008

An amendment to the Income-tax Act has been made by the FM/MoF empowering ITOs to call all and sundry, especially in the salary circles, and harass the tax payers. As a retired ITO I know that this very power had been withdrawn some years ago and all returns of income were supposed to be accepted by the ITOs. Why now again this power has been vested in the officers is not known If enquiries are made in the Delhi income tax offices, particularly in Mayur Bhavan, this will become clear as to how money is demanded and otherwise tax payers are harassed. Where can a tax payer turn when senior officers including top Revenue deptt. officers refuse to take action? 11142008

Pitampura has been doing injustice in lot of things and has been going for a long duration against me as well as other permanent members of this club. We have been writing to the authorities at the club but with no result. Now we have decided to bring it to your kind notice the injustice and indecent and mollified intentions of the staff of Rastriya Swabhiman Khel Parisar, Pitampura Sports complex. In particular Mr. Suresh Kohli, Who is no doubt in very good person in the department (a very sincere and reputed staff) of the complex but has been misbehaving by using foul language and carrying out illegal activities at main entrance. He has been eating, drinking on the desk. But when questioned by me, he replied he has the authority to do whatever he wants. In addition, he's showing partiality in the allotment of the indoor badminton court as he gives to the people of who are temporary members, guests and other members in spite the fact the regular member are waiting for their allotted time to play. According to him, he assign the court to those who are paying him extra in addition to the regular sports complex charges .He don't allow any new member to play in the court until he is paid extra. Please have a surprise check or we need your kind presence to resolve this matter . He charges Rs 80/- each regular members using the indoor badminton court in the morning or the allotted 40 minutes duration so that there 40 minutes are reserved and nobody else can take the court during that time and this has been going on for so long. It has been routine practice that he never gives us the receipt for the payments made for the sage of indoor court. We are forced to write this letter to you in person and with your assurance and quick response we would be highly grateful and obliged. We can give in writing with signatures of a maximum number of permanent members having problem with Mr. Suresh Kohli. 10192008

AN AUSTRALIAN mining company has paid millions of dollars in controversial fees to Somali rebels responsible for a surge in international piracy, including the hijacking this week of an oil supertanker. Since 2005, oil explorer Range Resources has paid the disputed government of the Puntland State of Somalia more than $US6 million ($A9.3 million) for resource rights to the region. Puntland's ruling clans are suspected of controlling piracy off the coast of Somalia — including the pirates who this week seized control of a Saudi-owned oil tanker, the Sirius Star, which is carrying a cargo of oil worth at least $US100 million. The pirates last night confirmed to the television network al-Jazeera that they were demanding a ransom for the tanker, but did not specify an amount. After signing a heads of agreement with Puntland's government in October 2005, Range Resources paid $US1.5 million up front, 17 monthly payments of $US200,000 and an additional one-off $US1 million. The payments ceased last year. Range Resources has since made several "charitable donations" to Puntland's government, including a $US250,000 payment for an airport redevelopment last year. Range Resources directors Mike Povey and Peter Landau flew to Puntland to hand over that cheque. In return, Range Resources holds the rights to all mineral and hydrocarbon exploration for Puntland, an area covering more than 212,000 square kilometres. To date no oil has been recovered in Puntland by Range Resources or its mysterious joint-venture partner, Consort Private, which is registered in the Maldives. In 2005, Somalia's Transitional Federal Government raised concerns with the Australian Stock Exchange over Range Resources' ability to secure the exclusive mineral and oil rights to a large slice of the country. In a letter to the ASX, then prime minister Ali Mohammed Gedi offered to co-operate with "any investigation" into the company's explorations claims. His letter stated that the deal with the regional Puntland government was not valid because only his transitional government had the power to negotiate the sale of mineral and oil rights. In the vague heads of agreement document released by Range Resources to the ASX and shareholders in October 2005, it is unclear who the actual beneficiary of the money for the oil and mining rights is. Former Range Resources managing director Mike Povey, who quit the company last month, has since confirmed to The Age that the money was paid directly to Puntland's disputed government. "Yes, it was paid to them," Mr Povey told The Age. "I do not know what the money was ultimately used for. I assume it was used for infrastructure projects, for running the country. It's a very poor part of the world and the money was much-needed." Mr Povey denied that the money was effectively a kick-back to a corrupt regime, and one that is not recognised by rival provinces of Somalia. He also said he had no evidence that the money had been diverted to fund piracy or to buy weapons. "I know nothing about that at all," Mr Povey said. Range's deal was struck with Puntland's minister of finance, Mohammed Ali Yusuf. His name appears on documents lodged by Range with the ASX. Mr Yusuf's budget statement for Puntland for 2005-06 shows that money from Range Resources contributed to his department's budget, which was used to buy weapons for the "pacification of neighbouring non-Puntland territories". In detailing his department's $US11.3 million of annual expenditure that year, Mr Yusuf stated: "Huge amounts of money had been spent on security … huge amounts had been spent on politics as well, especially on pacification of neighbouring non-Puntland territories like Southern Mudug and disputed territories of Sol and Sanag." Online newspaper The Somaliland Times has also reported that funds from Range Resources have been used to buy weapons in the region. Range Resources disputes that report. 11192008

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. 9232008
