The public offices of Punjab are known for following the tradition of petty corruption under the name of ‘Chai Paani’, where people happily give away petty bribes to lower-tier officials working in government offices.
But now, ACE has come forward to cull nefarious tradition.
Punjab police shared an advertisement regarding anti-corruption campaign on Twitter and other sites and asked people to immediately register the complaint at the concerned department in case of witnessing an activity of bribe in public offices.
