Punishment posting
It seems that the post of Director NPA is considered as a punishment
posting and no one is therefore interested in it. Goswami too left the
post within eight months of joining.

Internal security & policing issues
The vacant positions of Special Secretary (Internal Security ) , Director
- National Police Academy and Chief of BCAS staring at us, speak a volume
about our sincerity to internal security/ policing issues. Fifty IPS
officers waiting for central deputation are not getting positions to
get inducted in central government is again a matter of concern when
all these CVOs posts are manned by all and sundry. Even, MHA is filled
up with all services officers except IPS.. Why this Kola Veri ? Will
anybody sit up and take note ?

Poor quality food supplied in trains
Through this forum I tried to draw the attention of Railway authorities
towards poor quality of food supplied in the trains which could be spurious
too, as it happened in my case. Since the trains including those like
Rajdhani and Duranto which are too expensive do not have medical facilities
so much that first aid drugs to control vomiting or loose motions including
dysentery are also not available in the trains least to speak of any
doctor it would be advisable to stop supplying food. Passengers could
bring food from their homes only. The food supplied in the trains are
too expensive. Recently the charges have been further hiked. Or at least
the food charges should be excluded from the fare and food packet served
could be made optional. The passenger would not be forced to eat rotten
meals. Why should a passenger pay for the spurious food and later suffer
physically, mentally and financially. Since this website is so popular
that I am sure Railway authorities must also be reading it. I am also
sure they would act.

Should the copy of the marriage certificate be provided under
RTI?
Copy of marriage certificate of a certain employee was sought
from NABARD by the appellant. The Public Information Officer (PIO)
denied the information claiming that in the nature of personal
information and is exempt under section 8(1)(j) of the RTI Act.
The appellant filed a first appeal on with the first appellate
authority (FAA) which upheld the decision of PIO. The CIC disposed
the appeal observing that the approach of the respondent is in
conformity with the RTI Act.
Comment
Under section 8(1)(j), there is no obligation to disclose personal
information the disclosure of which has no relationship to any
public activity or interest, or which would cause unwarranted
invasion of the privacy of the individual unless the PIO or the
FAA is satisfied that the larger public interest justifies the
disclosure of such information.
