I heared many times.. Karnataka RTOs are taking bribes and giving licences and fitness certificates

Majority of road accidents are happening not by carelesness of people but by the corrupted society.. Contractors loot in road making and hence the potholes will come the very next day after road construction finishes. RTOs may take bribe and give fitness certificates and licences. Police may take bribe and wont mind when people violates rules. If found they were guilty then also take bribe and leave them from all cases

Bengaluru, May 26: The Karnataka government today resolved to continue with the online method of education as a new normal in the field of higher education. 

Holding the review of the Higher Education department, Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa expressed interest in providing online education to students in higher educational institutes.

Yediyurappa directed the officials to look into the possibilities of extending online education from as early as Pre-University level so that the new method can easily be followed as they scale up the academic career. 

Keeping in mind the less expenditure and online teaching being cost-effective, Yediyurappa said, “If you compare online teaching with the regular classroom teaching, it is not only cost-effective but also helps in savings in terms of resources. Officials must look into the new method and start introducing it as early as PU classes.”
