A specific, action-oriented anti-bribery poster in Bengaluru

It says that the Jayadeva General Hospital was inspected by “Lanchamukta Karnataka Nirmana” and found to have many staff who were demanding bribes to do their work, and gives a number to call in case someone finds a bribe being asked for.

I wish the organization success in its efforts. I do hope prospective patients and their families lodge complaints. But I wonder why this valuable service is restricted to this hospital alone. I also hope there are posters in Kannada too.

They build a flat sheet of nonsticky web with a funnel-shaped retreat to one side or occasionally in the middle, depending on the situation and species. The typical hunting mode is…
