Medha Patkar

I am sure many are following the narmada bachao andolan and the fast by medha patkar. Today read the full text of the ministerial committee report in the Hindu.What stuck me as a manager of more than 2 decades is the extent of shirking of responsibility by the bureaucrats concerned.
It is said, that the rehabilitation is only on paper. Nothing on the ground. Is this why the name 'paper work' given to all that a bureaucrat does?A road is supposed to be available and it is said only the previous day, a pile of stones was delivered to show a road work is in progress!!How mean and unfeeling can we get? I am not discussing the issue of whether what medha is doing is right or wrong; i am for the time being concentrating on how the managers who need to monitor and report on the rehabilitation , not doing their job and simply collecting papers. How can they do that?It is said, that the officials who are signing those false report, have not ever visited those spots. Okay there are other ways of verifying whether the jobs mentioned to have been done have indeed been done.But nowhere are there any checks applied to ensure people's lives are taken care of. It is not some fancy report of a ph d student, which can be embellished and adorn the university library. It is somebody's life.
And for the corruption issue. It seems compensation is always given in cash, after deducting 'administrative charges'.While all forms of corruption is horrible, the corruption which eats into the poor man's due, is equal to murder.Blood boils.
