The news yesterday about Coimbatore Passport office is that there has been arrests of couple of passport officials for corruption and passport racket.
Can you imagine the corruption officials include women also? These officials have corrupted with bribes almost Rs.25 lakhs and produced passports on Tatkal.
The 3 officials involved in this were arrested yesterday by CBI. What a disgrace!
Such an important position and this might involve any national threat also, by issuing passports illegally. How could this happen?
This incident arises a question in my mind - Does Coimbatore need a passport office or any kind of branch office - if the officials behave in this way? (This article is aiming at only corrupt officials and I am sure there are majority of sincere and clean officials).
Anyway, Grow up Coimbatore!!
News about Coimbatore corruption in passport office.
Our blog post for Coimbatore Passport Office details.
What Coimbatore will do for the Central Government Employees' action?! Those officers have been posted by Central Government not by Coimbatore Corporation.
ReplyDeleteIf we think in that way CBI arrested officers from Chennai passport office as well, SHALL WE REMOVE PASSPORT OFFICE FROM CHENNAI?
Grow up guyz!

Thanks for your comment Anonymous!
ReplyDeleteEven though the officials are appointed by central government, the passport office is functioning in Coimbatore.
I believe everything functioning in Coimbatore has to be clean and perfect without corruption! I believe that kind of environment has to be created in all the offices in Coimbatore. That is the hope and wish we are talking about.
It does not matter if the officials are from a different place or not.
Say for example - if there is an american consulate in Coimbatore - I would expect the office to be a great service place and should not be a place of crap.
I think it is about Coimbatore people, environment etc., Fear of corruption has to be there...
Coimbatore is not a developed metropolitan city as you think the infrastructure has to be changed, which will take ages to restructure the city with government mechanism.
ReplyDeleteWe cannot change everything overnight. I was living in Chennai for about 10 years and I've moved to Coimbatore before two years. I had all the facilities in Chennai but now not much but I'm happy to be in Coimbatore.
Nobody likes to pribe but the situation pushes them to get the things done quickly by pribing. Touch your heart and say you never pribed anyone until today?
Anyone can speak but keeping up the words are hard.
As long as people are there to pribe, officials will get let it be Coimbatore, Chennai etc.
We need to wait for a child to grow in healthier way!
Hi there,
ReplyDeleteI am not supporting corrupted officials. I am just against for your say that we need to remove the Passport office from Coimbatore.
Is it not a negative thought?!
Coimbatore residents will go to Trichy for applying passports?!
We need to help Coimbatore to improve not by restricting the growth!
I am just against for that thought! Rest all I agree with you.
Just a debate not an argument!
Cheers,
"does Coimbatore need a passport office?"
ReplyDelete- well that was an expression out of frustration.
I really don't want that to happen.
If that statement hurts you or someone's feelings, I apologize.
