Street lights start working PDF E-mail

Kailash Goduka stays in Navkala Apartments in East Delhi. The street lights in front of Navkala Apartments were not working for the last several years.

The residents made several complaints to the local electricity office but nothing happened. They made personal visits, complained to the central complaint room and made several written submissions. In June 2002, Kailash filed an application under Right to Information to know the daily progress report of the complaints made earlier, the names of guilty officials and likely action to be taken against the officials.

Within a couple of days of filing the application, the concerned Assistant Engineer came to meet Mr Goduka. The street lights were repaired within the next few days.

What is the Right to Information Act?

  • Right to Information Act (RTI), passed in 2005 provides to every citizen of India right to ask information held by a Public Authority
  • Now you can quiz the authorities about delays in your passport application, funds spent by your MP or just about anything
  • The information can be asked through Public Information Officers(PIO) in every government department
  • No reason needs to be given for seeking information
  • Cost (directly through the PIO):  Rs. 10 - Rs. 50. Cost (online through rtination): Rs. 125 (View cost break-up)
  • PIO penalised through deduction in salary if information not provided in 30 days

 

The RTI Act establishes a system of feedback in the government machinery. The government runs on the tax payers money, and now the tax payer can check if his money is being utilised in a proper manner. Just as in a company, the boss who pays the employee has every right to question him and check him. The employee is answerable to his boss.
