Small story about the corruption  in Bhubaneswar

I had relocated from Bangalore to Bhubaneswar in Feb-2013. This is a true story which had happened with me. Since I was using Jyothi Gas in Bangalore which again a private vendor and they did not have services there in Bhubaneswar so I had surrendered my connection in Bangalore and then had moved to Bhubaneswar. I had taken a house on rent in Bhubaneswar in Rasulgarh area. I was need of gas cylinder for home cooking purpose and decided to apply for one. I then decided to reach the office and asked about all the documents required. Meanwhile I had to manage with gas cylinders given in black as there was no other option. I submitted all the required documents and photographs and was very happy that I will get a new connection. Time started passing and with every passing day I was thinking I will get a call today.

After 20 days I went to the same office and enquired about my application status and then got to know that the documents have not been processed. Government officials do not directly ask bribe for doing your work rather they will delay your work or will not process it. Now I was not aware that things work that way in India as I was a new graduate and was working in software where you will not find any corruption in terms of money. There are some bad practices there in software which you will find in my different post. 

I enquired the clerks there as why my documents has not been processed the he told me to go out he is very busy it seems. Somehow next day I went with one of my local friend and then he asked as whats going on then we got a demand of 5000 Rs apart from cylinder and stove price to process the file. I thought of threatening him to take this to new channel. he smiled and told do whatever you can. 

I shook with his confidence but still thought of reporting this to tv channel and collected the Otv contact number and tried calling them. 

That day I realized that media of our country is also corrupted, they simply told me don't waste our time, we have other important things to do. 

I then decided not to stay long there in that city and finally after 7 months of stay I left for Bangalore .

During my stay in BBSR I managed with my friend's cylinder as he had double connection. 

I have many more such stories to write.
