Why the official announcement if it's all fluff ? Is the police corrupt that much ? too busy to care about this kind of issues ?

Plus because there are no traffic laws over there enforced its utter chaos on the roads. Jammed with cows, people, carts, cars, trucks etc. Everyone going their own way. Ignoring traffic lights, signs. Police or an ambulance could not reach even if they wanted to.
Contrast that to the US, where at least most of the country knows when you see emergency vehicle lights, you pull over to the far right lane or shoulder to clear room for them to get to the person that needs help.
It's night and day. Traffic laws need enforcing there hardcore. Although so do a lot of things. The country just needs the will power to do it.
I and thousands of students can vouch that we did not have to bribe to get our passports.
India is doing really well in terms of law, for the population density it supports. I would bet enforcing those rules in the US or providing 911 help similar to the US for a country with that large a population is incredibly hard. Its not about will power, but the scale at which it has to be enforced at the same time, so that it works.
This is absolutely no true. I don't know about your experience but this is not the case everywhere. I got my passport almost 10 years ago and did not have to cough up a single paisa. Generally, you may have to deal with inept fools behind the counter trying to assert that they're the boss. But don't have to pay them.
Also expect a surge of crimes committed with stolen guns.
I fail to see how that's an improvement.
ps: hmm apparently this is cliche..
