Bihar News: Amidst election preparations in Bihar, an incident has come to light, which has raised questions on the entire administrative system. A mistake of the RTPS counter has now become a joke on social media, but the truth behind it is very serious. It is not about any common man, but of a dog who was issued a government residence certificate, with the whole process and digital signature!
‘Dog Babu’ got government stamped
This surprising case has come to light in the draft block of Patna district, where a residential certificate was issued through the RTPS counter, in which the applicant’s name is Dog Babu, father’s name Dog Babu and mother’s name is written. Not only this, there is also a photo of a real dog in the picture. The number of this certificate recorded in the system of RTPS is BRCCO 2025/15933581 and there is also a digitty sign of the draft revenue officer Murari Chauhan. As soon as this certificate went viral on social media, people’s senses flew away. People jokes said that now humans will have to stand in line and “Dog Babu” will get the benefit of government schemes first!
Ruckus on social media, open sleep of officers
As soon as this matter was stirred up on the Internet, departmental officers. At first, no one was convinced that such a joke has been made on a sensitive portal like RTPS, but when the investigation took place, it was confirmed that this certificate was really released on July 24. Prabhat Ranjan, the officer of the draft, confirmed that the certificate had been canceled with immediate effect and the concerned digital signature has also been removed from the portal. However, the question still remains as to how such a big mistake happened in the system?
Patna DM’s action mode, strict action will be taken
Realizing the seriousness of the case, Patna District Magistrate Dr. Tyagarajan SM has expressed strong displeasure over this. He has clearly stated that strict action will be taken against the officers and employees responsible for this mistake. He says that such negligence in the government process cannot be tolerated, and is like a “condemnable offense”.
A shameful lapse in the middle of the voter revision
The Election Commission is running a intensive voter revision campaign (SIR) in Bihar. During this time, people are being investigated and verified by their documents. Long lines for residential certificates were seen in many districts including Seemanchal. It was said by the government that a large number of applications are coming, which has increased the burden on the system. But this kind of mistake raises the question whether the investigation of authenticity between the speed of the system and the crowd has been sacrificed? Are certificates being issued blindly to meet the target only?
Administrative negligence or mischievous conspiracy?
Although some officials are considering it intentionally by a mischievous element, but the question is how much joke was successful? In a digital system like RTPS, where it is necessary to upload mobile OTP, documents and photos, how did the residential certificate of “Dog Babu” become after? Is there any lapse in the system, or did the authorities sign the documents without seeing it? This is not just a joke, but a deep question on the trusted government system.
Now the eyes of the entire state on this
This incident of draft is no longer from only one village or city, it has become a question on the administrative system of the entire Bihar. Amidst a serious subject like election, when the truth of documents is considered to be the most important, this type of negligence is not only shameful but weakens the basic pillars of democracy. It remains to be seen how much transparency the administration investigates in this whole matter and whether strict action is taken against the culprits or the matter will be reduced to “comment and tweet”.
