English term or phrase: Surviving bureaucracy
Please suggest the best possible Bengali for 'surviving bureaucracy' as in the title below.

"Surviving bureaucracy. A story about the workers meeting a government official for help."
Subhankar Chakrabarty
India
Local time: 09:49
আমলাতন্ত্রে বসবাস
Explanation:
In the given title, the word "surviving" is not a qualifier to 'bureaucracy', - it does not refer to something that survives. Rather, 'surviving' is a verbal noun (gerund), denoting the experience of living through bureaucratic hassles of the society.
Hence আমলাতন্ত্রে বসবাস would be a nice title in Bengali, carrying the closest meaning.
I hope my friends will understand the points.
