India Right To Information

By coming up with ridiculous excuses to block information to the public, the Government departments and its officials are making a mockery of the Right to Information Act. Sample this. Some information was sought from the Public Information Officer of Regional Transport Office, Thiruvananthapuram. How many foreign nationals have registered in their names any kind of vehicles? Whether any foreign national has been issued driving licence? The reply: For collecting the details the service of staff in the office could not be spared as it would affect the day-to-day functioning of the office. You may directly come to the office and verify the records and collect the details. This was the experience of P K Raju an activist who sought the information.
