How can you stop corruption when the giver and receiver are present the society. Even the poor pay bribes to get their jobs done. So only demonetization can stop this sort of bribe giving and bribe taking. The poor pay bribes of over Rs 8,000 million to access public services. http://infochangeindia.org/governance/books-a-reports/the-poor-pay-bribes-of-over-rs-8000-million-to-access-public-services.html

Coal Block allotment during the last few years have been full of corruption and the then PM has been under scrutiny. In real sense there was guidelines, which were not adhered by. Hence huge amount is minted by the Mines contractors and black money is generated in huge quantity. Proper investigation is required by going through the files.
