Bribeline and Corruption

Supply and Demand- Hindustan Times

One of my pet hates is corruption and I have written about this frequently. Referenced above is one article which I wrote before and here is another one. But what I wanted to draw your attention to was this site. Its called as BribeLine and allows people to submit incidents of corruption to an NGO. I strongly recommend people to use it and report their incidents to this body. This canker of corruption has to be erradicated. The Financial Times today has a big article here.
