The in-service doctors’ wing of the state branch of the Indian Medical Association (IMA, Punjab) has expressed concern over the alleged casual and non-serious approach of some government departments in supplying information sought under the RTI Act.
In a press note issued here yesterday, chairman of the wing Dr DS Bhullar said doctors were facing difficulties in procuring information from various government departments in the health sector under the RTI Act.
“Either vague information is given or it is not provided within the stipulated one-month period. In case, corrective measures are not taken by the authorities concerned, we will approach state appellant authority, demanding disciplinary action against the erring officials,” he added.
