Corruption free McCluskiegunj?

In order to make McCluskiegunj a corruption free town, people are awakening and raising their voices against corruption. People in the Gunj have got more civilized and literate in comparison to the years during the British rule and even decades after Indian Independence.

I was shocked when I overheard a group of people who were discussing about BPL and APL cards last night while I was returning home from Dhurwa More. I heard someone say that they were asked to pay twelve hundred rupees for making a card (probably they were talking about the BPL cards or ration cards because these people seemed to be BPL).

People are now more aware of their rights. They also sound the alarm if they notice any illegal activity. I've seen things for my self and have wondered about them. For instance, during the distribution of rations to the BPL card holders, I've seen cars, vans and two wheelers come at the distributor's place of distribution to load up and take away monthly stock. BPL cards are issued to APL residents too it SEEMS.

APL citizens who are cheating should not cheat the government in any way. After all we are all Indian brothers and sisters and we ought to help our country get stronger financially and socially. We must see that the money spent by the government for the poor goes to the poor. We must know who is more deserving.

Indira Aawaas was sanctioned to quite a no. of people here and in this scenario each person received nearly five to ten thousand rupees less than the actual amount sanctioned. Who digested the money snatched from the poor?

Unique Identity Card Details

Sorry, this is not a page that will show your Aadhaar Card details...

Aadhaar Cards are being processed all around. It has been noticed that people are coming in to McCluskiegunj and moving into vacant houses and are being introduced by locals as relatives. They fill up forms for their entire families in order to get Aadhaar Cards. The address in their application forms are stated McCluskieganj. These strangers to locals are assisted by their so called relatives or anybody to the Mukhia of a Panchayat where the forms are then signed and stamped at the cost of ten rupees per form (...heard rumours).

We are aware that militants enter India from terrorism supported countries and hide in remote areas. The system for issuing Aadhar Cards should be reconsidered in regrds to ingenuity . The issue of Aadhaar Cards with wrong addresses are somewhat fake in my opinion. Though the basic records in respect to vital information such as  photo, name and fingerprints etc. are useful to the government in ways.

The Administration should enquire about strangers and their lively hood in the interest of national security as well as security for citizens. If these strangers are genuine, meaning not of antisocial nature, fine! if not the Administration knows what to do.
