GoI letter ?
Comments from Ashishkumar Chauhan , MD & CEO , BSE Ltd
"BSE welcomes the absolute majority mandate given by Indian public
to Shri Narendra Modi led Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) and National Democratic
Alliance (NDA). The win comes at a time when India needs a stable, pro
development and a decisive government. It is apparent that such a result
has increased the confidence in the country's Future Prospect with the
S&P BSE Sensex crossing the 25000 mark.
This Election was only a small hurdle for the Bhartiya Janta Party
(BJP) and National Democratic Alliance (NDA) who is now tasked with
the monumental job of reviving the Investment cycle. BSE has played
a huge role in job creation in India over last 140 years by making funds
available to more than 5,300 companies and is hopeful of adding greater
value to the Indian growth under the new and able leadership"
Where is letter ?
But where is the GoI letter ? Today is the last day for UPA2 government.
Devindra Sethi
Their quality that attracted Congress High Command
Antony and Manmohan Singh have one thing in common. Both are personally
honest at the same time do not bother about others making money under
their very noses. Perhaps that is the quality that attracted Congress
High Command to make one as Defence Minister and the other as PM. Their
willingness to wear the mask of honesty does not make them intellectually
honest.

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.
