Dear Vikram and Friends,
I also read the article and knew that a discussion will start on this subject.
Mr. Gowda's statement is silly because he could have solved the problem of RTI
applications by finishing the task of publishing a thorough and detailed pro-
active disclosure where all the sections of BBMP is covered.
THE KIC HAS KEPT MY CASE WHICH IS 5 YEARS OLD WITH 19 HEARINGS, CLUBBED WITH OTHERS
WHICH IS HEARD IN THE FULL BENCH (WITH ONLY ONE CHAIR!! dictating) as RESERVED
for orders for the past 50 days!!! I wonder what or for whom (like GODOT) they
are (Full Bench) waiting for.
Regards
G VINCENT

Dear Freinds ,
All News Papers Emanating From Blore Today Carry News of Discussions on RTI in BBMP Monthly Council Meet
Times of India Page 6 --- Corporator Says RTI act is Being misused -- BBMP engineer Bear the Brunt of Replying to Unnesessary queries From Psuedo- Activists

Yediyur corporator N R Ramesh said the Right to Information Act was being misused by activists and the burden is on BBMP engineers who end up spending many manhours at the Karnataka Information Commission. "Recently, there was a query seeking a building plan of a house built in Vijayanagar about 30 years ago. How does such information help anyone? And in case the information is not there in BBMP, the burden of replying to such queries will be on engineers currently working in the ward. Some RTI activists have no public concern. Can we file a police complaint against such pseudo-activists?" he asked.
BBMP commissioner M K Shankarlinge Gowda said he had discussed the increasing RTI queries with the information commissioner. "Not all officials know how to dispose of the RTI cases. A workshop for BBMP officials to handle RTI applications will be held," commissioner said.
Corporators attack bureaucrat
At the BBMP council meet on Saturday, opposition party leader (Congress) M Udayshankar alleged that Inspector General of Police R P Sharma has flouted BBMP bye laws by merging two sites while constructing his house near Dodda Gubbi.
"R P Sharma who has been questioning BBMP engineers in cases of building byelaw violations in the city, has himself not obtained the building plan for constructing his house. As per the rule book, two sites cannot be amalgamated. BBMP must take action against him," Udayshankar said.
When contacted, Sharma denied the allegations and said that he'd prove his innocence. "The building does not even come under BBMP limits. It's in gram panchayat limits. Why should it be discussed in BBMP meetings? I've obtained all required government approvals," he told STOI.
