Friends,
We
are organizing a Meeting in Lucknow on tomorrow, i.e., Sunday (07/02/2010) in
remembrance of Sri Satish Shetty, the late RTI activist from Pune,
who was so brutally murder by the land sharks. The program shall be held
in Room No- 202 of the PGP Block (Bodhi-griha) of IIM Lucknow from 4 PM to 5
PM.
Satish Shetty (39) was well-known in and around Maharashtra for using the Right
to Information (RTI) Act to expose many an irregular activity. This included
many an unauthorized and illegal land-deals, building constructions and other
such land-related nefarious deeds including setting up of restaurants and
marriage halls in residential zones. His
crusade had started some 15 years ago and lately he had started wielding the
Right to Information to a large scale for this.
In addition, we are also going to remember and pay our respect to Sri S
Manjunath, a post-graduate of this Institution who made supreme sacrifice for
the values he so dearly held.
Along with RTI activists, some members of faculty and students from IIM
Lucknow and those belonging to Manjunath Trust shall also be participating.
Regards,
Dr Nutan Thakur – IRDS Lucknow (# 94155-34525)
