We get lot of SMSs on our mobiles. Some of them are useful and most of them are junk, nothing but SPAM.
Is there anything we can do about it? Nothing! We don't have strict spam laws here in India and we have to suffer all the junk that people stuff us with.
Interestingly, I received an SMS yesterday. This post is all about it.
Guess who has sent the SMS? CBI (Central Bureau of Investigations) is the prime body in India that is an equivalent of FBI.
To the content of the SMS now. It says, please inform if any PSU (public sector unit), govt. official is demanding bribes or has huge assets disproportionate to their income. They have given the contact numbers to call and provide the information too.
In reality, how many people dare to do this? People are scared of government officials, or the babus we call them with fearful respect.
Officials asking for bribes to clear some files faster or to approve some project is one thing.
But, what about harassing the poor people in the name of umpteen number of rules which have clauses, sub-clauses, sub-clauses for sub-clauses........ and keep on doing a ping pong, making them run from pillar to post? Common man is totally under the mercy of these officials, and in many instances the person who had to get the work done is long dead and the legacy is continued by his son/daughter, and his/her son/daughter, and on and on....... Something must be done to make these things easy for the common man.
There I go off-track.
Here is the contact numbers of CBI in Bangalore for people to call and take forward their issues.
+91 80 23542144 and +91 9481606810 (cell/mobile).
Here is the link the CBI website: http://www.cbi.gov.in/index.php
Hope this helps some of the needy people.
Once again, thanks for reading my posts!
Warm Regards
