Dr Rajiv Ratan
POLITICS
This is Gujarat style ?
Narendra Modi hasn't even discussed anything over portfolio distribution...not
even with Rajnath Singh, Gadkari etc. He has been giving very warm response
to every senior leader carefully over portfolio but has been giving
no reaction thus opening up what's on his mind. He has started drawing
clear line as Super PM who would decide by his own.....like he has designed
his succession planning (international diplomacy right from his oath
taking day)."no clue at all....Modi Ji has never opened up even
on a single portfolio as yet" is the answer of a top BJP leader.

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.
