The pendency of Right to Information (RTI) applications at the State
Information Commission (SIC) are heading only northwards. Till March
2012, there were some 35,000 applications pending at the commission.
At present, with only three information commissioners (ICs) working at
the UPSIC, cases are piling up. UPSIC has eight vacancies against the
sanctioned strength of 10 ICs.
About 250 applications are filed everyday. The pendency at the
commission is due to first appeal authorities being almost absent in
the state. RTI applications are not getting disposed of at the level
of the public information officers (PIOs) too. In such a situation,
the entire burden of disposing of the RTI applications rests with the
commission.
