RTI Act being made in-effective

True, RTI Act is being made in-effective day to day. The writer has seek three RTIs in Ist week of September month 2014 already 40 days past. No reply has come. Out of three, two RTIs are for MoD and one for Rural Development. It directly indicate that the reply used to come within 20 days is not yet materialise in 40 days. It means RTI act is being diluted as also felt through media. This may be due to the fact that UPA Govt's corruption was revealed through RTI so NDA may be sidelining the RTI act slowly and cluelessly.

6. 3 vehicles hired from AAI and 3 vehicles from Private Contractor . Why this for small organisation?
7. Not followed the rules for refreshment, lunch, purchasing, etc. Why ?

Why publish bickering between IAS and other services ?

I feel it is a waste to publish the bickering between IAS and other services with regards to their efficiency and superiority. Lakhs of people write the civil service examination and a few only get selected purely based on this examination and interview. Those who top get into IFS and IAS. If this gradation is not accepted, the sanctity of the examination itself is questionable. There are many among the failed candidates as well as many who did not write the examination who can be better than those who made the grade. Question can be asked why we could not select people from other walks of life like MBAs, engineers, ex-army officers etc for central services.
