By bribing the corupt officials/politicians the society becomes responnsible for highly prevalent corruption in the system.<br /><br />In Karnataka, Lokayukta is doing a good job of fighting corruption. We , the common public, should take bold step of saying NO to corruption.<br /><br />Contact Info:<br /><br />Registrar of Lokayukta :<br /><br />Address Office of the Lokayukta<br />Dr. B.R.

Found a lot of information which might be useful for others as well.<br /><br />For list of developers in Bangalore checkout:<br /><a href="http://www.karnataka.com/real-estate/"> http://www.karnataka.com/real-estate</a><br /><br />To get information on BDA auctions and allotments etc: <br /><a href="http://www.bdabangalore.org/">http://www.bdabangalore.org</a><br /><br />NOTE: <br />Be very careful before buying property in Bangalore. Do verify the authenticity of the documents and check if the builder/developers are reliable. I got a list of blacklisted developers.<br /><a href="http://groups.msn.com/bdasites/blacklisteddevelopers.msnw">http://groups.msn.com/bdasites</a><br /><br />I am not sure if the above information is true. but, better be careful than lose savings of your lifetime.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20611055-114242331006769232?l=smithasworld.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Smitha Mavenoreply@blogger.com0
