It pains us to find that corruption has increased very much in our country. Everyday new cases of corruption are unearthed. This is a sad sign of immorality which is eating our society like white ants. Perhaps, it is the laxity of the administrative machinery that is indirectly responsible for this. Laws are there but they are circumvented with impunity. Our education has failed to turn out citizens of character. The culprits must be punished in accordance with the laws.
