India Right To Information

Shailendra Singh, former deputy SP of police and state in-charge of Right to Information Task Force of Congress, has come to the district magistrate's office once again on Thursday after four years. But, unlike in the past when he was arrested, this time district magistrate AK Upadhyaya comes to his office to find out the complaint of Singh and his supporters."This time, I have the weapon in the form of RTI. The officials could not overlook the facts that I produced with every complaint and application. All the details, like where the applications were being submitted on the occasion of tehsil and thana divas, were attached with the complaints," claimed Singh, explaining why the administration or the police could not treat him like they did in the past. It may be mentioned here that in October 2004, Singh had arrived at the DM office with his supporters to submit the complaints of the people. However, instead of meeting him, the officials ensured that Singh was arrested for his act.
