emancipation from frauds

text of the letter sent to the Times of India:

I refer to the report captioned "fraud-hit KSRTC decides to outsource accident claims" reported in your columns on Saturday, the 15th Sept.

What has been discovered is just one scam in one accident-claims wing. In a monopoly government organisation, like the KSRTC, it is inevitable that there will be many such scams flourishing simultaneously in many of its wings. The only lasting solution lies in having effective competition from reputed private corporates, which will then push the KSRTC into professionalising in order to survive. And, if they can meet the challenge, they too will flourish, like we have seen in the case of Indian Airlines, and if they can't, the world would be better off without them.
