POLITICS

No ministerial berth for Amit Shah
Seemingly enthralled by the encouraging exit poll results Amit Shah is supposed to be entrusted with bigger and crucial role within the party. If it comes true Amit Shah would miss the chance to be on board with new Govt at centre. More importantly, it would further strengthen Narendra Modi's grip over the party affairs and consolidate his power to play conveniently and peacefully as PM. Will Amit Shah play as chief strategist and crisis-manager as Pramod Mahajan played during Vajpayee's regime?

Modi should fulfill expectations of employees

BJP and Narendra Modi are expected to win almost all the seats from Delhi. Delhi comprises a very large population of Central Government Employees. All Central Government Employees have voted for Modi en block.

Modi should now fulfill expectations of Central Government Employees from him by increasing retirement age in the month of May 2014 itself, so that no one is deprived from his this grace.

Agenda and other details are already ready which were repeatedly blocked by one politician in the previous government, last time being on 28.02.2014. Thus everything is absolutely ready waiting for a nod from Modi Ji. He can do it in the month of May 2014 itself.

DATE WITH RTI


elay in transfer of ration card

The ration card of the appellant was transferred since 15-11-2012 to a fair price shop 30 Kms away from his house from where he was not able to draw the rations since then and purchasing the same in the open market by paying Rs. 800/- extra every month and thus suffering financial loss. He filed five applications under the Right to Information (RTI) Act seeking details of various ration card holders, details of fair price shops, details of the cards which are transferred, details of the employees who will handle complaints, guidelines for transfer of ration cards from one area to another area etc.. The respondent submitted that no human error was involved and the transfer occurred due to the computer system fault. The respondent felt that the appellant's card also should have been set right before the enactment of National Food Security Act but the appellant would now have to wait till July, 2014 as the respondent office is neither issuing the new cards nor renewing the old cards till then. The CIC observed that this will amount to denial of ration card and ration to deserving appellant, which go against the objective of food security. Directing the respondent to provide the information, the Commission issued a show cause notice to the PIO for imposing penalty and granted a compensation of Rs. 250/ per month till the date of restoration of ration card to the appellant.

Comments

This is an instance where the RTI Act has been used for getting a grievance redressed.
