Dear Monoj,
In fact my first RTI application made u/s 6 to this PA, i.e. this
Municipality was regarding the Section 4 non-compliance only. The SIC used the
same words in their previous 'Order' as on 15-05-2007, which they used in this
'Order' too.(Against the same SPIO, who said he was ignorant of the Act,
then)My most humble question is how many times a particular Public Authority
will be spared for such blatant non-compliance of the Act? And the proactive
disclosure part, this PA has a website, www.bidhannagarmunicipality.org.in
where they have recently added a RTI Tab. You'll find copy of some Pay Slips
etc. I most humbly request you to check it out.
I'm very much depressed & really don't know what to do & how to fight this
dreaded virulence.
I want to thank you & Mr. Roy for your kind advice.
In Solidarity,
~MALAY~

Dear Malay/ Manoj
The situation in WB is beyond repair. The state is now a Police /
Fascist State and these issues cannot be solved through RTI.
What is even more worrying is that this virus seems to be
spreading to other parts of India.
This issue will only be solved if President's Rule is imposed
on such States, but with the Centre dependent on these fascist
forces it seems unlikely in the short term.
