RTI sucess story from J&K
Dear All
I have attached the photos of the damaged mud house which belonged to a widow namely Khaati from Hanjoora village in Chadoora tehsil of Budgam district J&K.This is the poorest family in this village and the widow has 6 daughters. No politician came to her rescue and the IAY houses were alloted to infulential people of the area.Then RTI activists from our group intervened abd Khaati got some 25000 Rs from Rural Dvelopment Department under IAY schme and she constructed a one room house adjacent to this so called damaged mud house. I have attached some photos also.We had gone to Khati's house yesterday and we were happy to see her new under construction house.It may be an ordinary thing for many people but i can say this is my biggest achievement. Because politicians have only used Khati's family as a vote bank but our boys did the real work with sincere intentions. My appeal to people is that they should not only decide things sitting in the drawing rooms,Right to Information can bring about a revolution in the matters of governance in J&K.The only thing is that we must launch a rigorous campaign on it. Let us support RTI Movement in J&K. This is just to bring about accountability and transparency in our administration. We must not wait now.
Hope to hear from you soon.
