I have called the State Human Rights office several times, also sent a facsimile. They din't sound like they would respond.
Are there anybody from Guwahati who can help find information on the following: * What are the current projects that the State Human Rights Commission has undertaken? * What did they do to prevent Tarun Gogoi selling females (two per day one is a child)? http://groups.yahoo.com/group/assamonline/message/3066 Also please help find email ids of: Justice Shri Sailendu Nath Phukan Shri Sarat Mahanta Sahri R.N. Sharma, IAS Shri B.P.Rao, IPS Shri N. Sapcota Hello Shantikam Hazarika Can you help find information what's going on in this Commission? (I know you are in Guwahati so asking for a favour) Rs.18.81 Crores is a lot of money! They don't even have to spent 1 Crore to stop Tarun Gogoi selling females. Do they? This link talks of trade as well http://www.assamtribune.com/scripts/details.asp?id=may1307/at03 Thanks, Rabin --- "Dr. Sashanka" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi, It seems that it's quite difficult to get the information from Assam State Human Right commission.

To my knowledge the RTI act has guidelines that some information should be made available (they are obliged to under Section 4 of the RTI Act). It comes into force on the 12th October, 2005 (120th day of its enactment on 15th June, 2005) - more http://persmin.nic.in/RTI/WelcomeRTI.htm Apparently, inconsistently low-morale Tarun Gogoi (current chief minister of Assam) has failed Assam on RTI according to the survey by Centre for Civil Society, Delhi see http://www.ccs.in/ccsindia/dtp/DTPI-states-summary.pdf Also see firdous siddique message in assamonline archive http://groups.yahoo.com/group/assamonline/message/2959 Regards, Rabin Re: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/assamonline/message/3061 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/assamonline/message/3063 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/assamonline/message/3064
