Update Commission website, urge RTI activists


RTI activists from Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad  have urged state governor K Sankaranarayanan to issue directions to the state information commission to update information on its official website.

In a letter to the governor, the activists have pointed out that it is mandatory for all government and semi-government offices to voluntarily provide information of the office under section 4 of the RTI Act. "However, information about the commission’s address, telephone numbers and email addresses is missing on the commission’s website sic.maharashtra.gov.in. Information which should have been voluntarily published is missing’", the activists say in their letter.

Several government offices have not published information about their offices under section 4 of the RTI. It is the job of the state information commission to give directions to the concerned offices to publish the information, the activists said, demanding that the governor issue directions to the commission to update its website.
