Delegation
also Expressing their resentment against officials at the helms of affairs in
Consumer Affairs and Public Distribution (CA&PD), Rural Development
Department (RDD), CEO- Rajouri and above all the Pahari Hostel Rajouri, the RTI
Activists of Rajouri, today alleged that despite RTI pleas were filed under the
Right to Information (RTI) Act many a times in previous years but the
authorities concerned have not responded till date.
"The
activists had sought information related to discrepancies and irregularities in
the above said departments but the concerned departments yet have failed to
response the RTI pleas and virtually are sitting on the pleas, the activists
alleged
An RTI plea
was forwarded to Director Rural, Development Department along with required fee
vide no 04G/890670/ dated 22/4/2016/also send 1st appeal after one month vide
speed post receipt no RE/858587102 dt/17/5/2016. Finding no response 2nd appeal
too was filed but even than the concerned authorties are delaying information
intentionally and unintentionally but it has sent indicators that authorities
want to slide multi crore scams under the carpet
Interestingly
in Rajouri district not even a single RTI case was settled in two month in
different departments.
"in a
glaring example-unresponsive RTI plea filed to Pahari Hostel Rajouri for the
past months, said an agitated NGO worker Suresh Kumar.
He said as
per the details available with the NGO for Social Justice, an application was
filed under RTI Act by Shahbaz Ahmed seeking information form Warden Pahari
Hostel Rajouri on dated, 12/4/2016,along with required fees vide
77G/132088/dt/9/4/2016 and also approached to 1st and 2nd appellant but
response is still awaited. He said though First Appellant Authority Secy Pahari
Advisory Board vide his communication ADB/PSP/RTI/148/dt/27/4/2026.has also
directed Warden pahari Hostel to provide requisite information but the warden
inspite of this has not provided the due information.
While talking
to reporter in Rajouri one of the RTI activists said that for the last about
two month he had filed an RTI, application with Director Rural Development
Department seeking information from ACD Rajouri but here also ACD, Rajouri
failed to provide any information while two month have passed,
"The
RTIs filed with other departments too have similar fate be it filed to Director
CA&PD, AD,CA&PD, said Amir Mir and Dr Suresh said, adding, "as
officers sitting on helms are making mockery of RTI Act."
Applicants
namely Mobin Ahmed and Shahnwaz Mughal also lamented that we have applied from
ACD, Rural Development seeking information regarding multi crore scams but ACD
Concerned is delaying the reply even being directed from Director Rural
Development to provide information,
The
applicants now again have appealed to Director CA&PD, Director Rural
Development, and Director School Education to direct the concern officers to
provide information, without any further delay.
