Dear all,
Readers may have been wondering at the long pause in communications from my end. As I was quite ill for a few weeks I could not keep up the task of updating you. I am on the road to recovery and have started work slowly. Apologies for the long silence.
Readers may remember the recent notification of guidelines for implementing Section 4 of the Right to Information Act, 2005 (RTI Act) by the Department of Personnel and Training, Government of India. The guidelines are accessible at: http://ccis.nic.in/WriteReadData/CircularPortal/D2/D02rti/Suo_moto_disclosure-15042013.pdf
While a large number of recommendations of the Task Force set up by the DoPT have been include in the guidelines there are glaring omissions. CHRI has written to the DoPT highlighting the need for plugging these gaps in the guidelines for implementing the proactive disclosure obligations under the RTI Act. A copy of the letter is attached.
Please circulate this email as widely as possible.
