[HumJanenge] Re: Only 3 complaints lost in CIC since 2005" records IC(SG)

Dear Guptaji

Since I hardly file RTIs nowadays, you may request CIC to provide
these and many other charges which were hurled between SG and his
brother/sister ICs concerning the role / legitimacy of private
interns and private consultants by SG during closed door meetings. So
"closed door" that CIC officers were asked to leave during these
stormy sessions.
