Satish Kumar, a retired accountant from Punjab Agricultural University (PAU), has been running from pillar to post to get complete information sought under the RTI Act. According to Kumar, while PAU is facing financial crisis, no step has been taken

Kumar said: "In certain cases, officials were pardoned for their faults after it was found that they did not cause any financial loss to the university.

Kumar has recently written two letters to PAU V-C Dr Manjit Singh Kang listing various cases of financial discrepancies. The information on these cases was sought by Kumar under the RTI.
