The role of mafia in the market place
The role of mafia in the market place
All of us as common citizens are actually un-aware of the organised mafia, the behind-the-screen players, in the market place. In most cases, they control what we buy, where and for how much. The good examples are a) Weekly markets, hawkers and street vendors b) Taxi, cab and private transport services c) Parking lots d) services in industrial area
It is not about pricing alone, there are plenty of other issues which are directly linked to the mafia control
1. Adulteration in foods, fruits, vegetables and branded products
2. Major inconvenience and harassments to the common citizen as a buying experience
3. Local Governance problems
4. Generation of black money and its use for illegal activities
5. Scope for increased crimes
6. Deprive of level-playing environment for all in the markets. Only certain groups are dominating in specific trades in marked territories
I feel, the loop holes in the governing laws are exploited by the greedy people to manipulate the system. They know the law, they have relations in government departments and they are good in social engineering
Is there a way out to empower common citizens to take on such bad social elements? more

Real Estate Regulatory Bill is a very good step. But should ensure that the Regulator himself should not go corrupt. Along with ensuring 100% payment through banks only, all big denomination notes should be removed from circulation. more
