Pay your taxes or face the music in India
Authorities hire drummers to play at homes that haven't paid

HYDERABAD, India - Tax defaulters in southern India are being forced to face the music after city authorities hired drummers to play non-stop outside their homes until they pay up.

After many residents ignored repeated demands to settle overdue property taxes. authorities in a city in Andhra Pradesh state have sent 20 groups of drummers to play outside offenders’ houses for the past week.

“They put up a spectacle outside the houses of defaulters, draw them out and explain their dues to them and the need to clear it at the earliest,” said T.S.R. Anjaneyulu, municipal commissioner of Rajahmundry city.

“They don’t stop until people agree to clear the dues.”

The new method seems to be working, though. One week of incessant drumming has cleared 18 percent of the backlog.
