Sir,
Corruption means dishonest or illegal behaviour especially of people in authority. There is hardly anyone who is not well acquainted with the very word corruption; today each and every Government sector of the country is rotten to the core because of the widespread practice of corruption by the people who are at the helm of power, by the officers, the clerks and so on. However, there are many reasons behind this galloping corruption and the reasons are not far to seek. Thirst for power, pelf, wealth and money is the root cause of corruption. Greed, avarice and dishonesty, nepotism and favoritism also contribute to the cause of corruption. The consequence of corruption has a far reaching negative effect on socio-economic growth of the country. By practicing corruption the corrupt are growing richer and richer and the poor are becoming poorer and poorer. The widespread practice of corruption should not be allowed to go uncontrolled. The mass media, the papers, magazines, journals, articles and above all the consciousness of the enlightened people can play a vital role in curbing the galloping corruption.
Yours etc….
