An amount of
Rs. 33 lakh earmarked for interior Decoration of Managing Director’s office of
IDCO

very common practice in State
administration that those bureaucrats
who are at helm of affairs spend huge money mindlessly and carelessly for
their luxury and comfort. They spend huge money for renovation of their latrine, bathroom,
interior decoration of their office, bed room in their quarters,
balcony They hardly pay attention that they are using money from state exchequer
funded by the poor tax payers

to pay tax without objection at the cost of their live and livelihood even
suffering from hunger and
malnutrition.
