Rs 500 is enough

Yesterday i was roaming with my friend for getting his duplicate 12th mark sheet as he lost his original. For getting a duplicate we need a certificate from police which should be given at taluk office where they will issue another certificate which should be given to the school. So we went to Arumbakam police station to got the certificate. After getting we then went to Taluk office Egmore. There as we were entering the office a person approached us asking what we want. We explained him everything. We were made to wait for few minutes as he was talking to another person who wanted community certificate. He asked them Rs 700 for completing the formalities and getting the certificate. After sometime he sent us to another person nearby. He asked us to get a letter from my friend's father addressed to Thasildar. Later he told us that Rs 500 will be enough for completing the formalities and getting the certificate. I got stunned for a minute. It is the first time in my life i experienced such things in my life. If this is the state how will poor can survive. Is this the situation in both the DMK and ADMK government?? Only god can save our country from such things.
