http://origin.ndtv.com/rti/fullstory.asp?story_id=1385 RTI is very good tool in wiping out the corruption in government offices. There are so many illegal constructions going on in Jangaon Municipality, dist: Warangal. However the Building Inspector was on long leave and was not reporting to the duty since March 2006.
I submitted a representation to the Regional Director, Town & Country Planning, Warangal and also the Municipal Commissioner Jangaon, requesting them following information.
1. How long the Building Inspector was sanctioned the leave?
2. Who has sanctioned the leave and what arrangements were made in his absence.
3. Who is responsible, if any untoward incident happens to during illegal constructions?
4. Whether they have reported this long leave to other higher authorities.
5. Requested to provide the various correspondences with higher officials etc. Though the officers submitted me incomplete information but within a weeks time a new Building Inspector was sent on deputation. When I submitted simple representation, the officers were careless and have not acted upon but when same with subject “Request for information under RTI Act” along with Rs10/- IPO, the results are immediate. Kudo's to the RTI Act. Thanks
