⚡ The Gist
Facing the persistent challenge of corruption in public services, the Indore Lokayukta Police launches an awareness initiative across eight districts by installing approximately 30 information boards encouraging citizens to report bribery and corruption.
The boards appeal to people to share information about government officials and employees demanding bribes in exchange for official work, as well as cases involving assets disproportionate to known sources of income. The initiative aims to encourage citizens to speak up instead of silently accepting corrupt practices.
The Story
The information boards provide citizens with details of where and how they can approach the Lokayukta Police to report corruption-related complaints.
The initiative focuses on two key areas: demands for bribes by government officials or employees and information about individuals possessing assets disproportionate to their known income.
For citizens in Indore, complaints and relevant information can be shared directly with the office of the Superintendent of Police, Special Police Establishment, Lokayukta.

🎙️ Indore Talk Take
Corruption survives not only because someone demands a bribe, but also because people often feel helpless, fear consequences or choose to remain silent.
Awareness is the first step, but an accessible complaint system, prompt investigation and protection for complainants are equally important.
If someone demands a bribe for doing their official duty, remember: paying up is not your only option. Speak up and report it.
