No FMCG Company in India upto the mark
No company, Indian or MNC functioning in India comes upto even a reasonably
satisfactory level of quality consumer products. The Health ministry
has predicted a rise in NCDs (non communicable diseases) in the country
in the next 10 years. It is mostly due to poor quality edible products
from manufacturers, franchises, packaging outfits, charitable/NGO/religious/ancient
etc suppliers, marketers and suckers. This adds to public anger, which
results in high blood pressure or depression, leading to yet another
looming epidemic in the country by 2030 or so when India will have the
highest patients with a variety of mental diseases. Political and judicial
frustration will do the rest. We live in adulterated environs!

We cannot fix problems !
What happened in Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon and faraway Hyderabad proves
once again that we cannot fix the problems which create havoc whenever
it rains. Three hours of heavy rain and the roads of the capital of
the country turn into rivers causing massive traffic snarls, upsetting
schedules, blocking drains and resulting in stress and discomfort to
common man.(This time of course the VIPs were also not spared. John
Kerry's quip on 'boats' should shame us.)We talk of smart cities.100
cities have been selected for this purpose. But what we need at the
moment is livable cities-clean and not water-clogged where we do not
have to spend hours to cover a distance which can normally be covered
in a few minutes, where we have uninterrupted power supply where roads
are free of encroachments and there are no garbage dumps around residential
colonies.Are these problems so difficult to fix. Delhi's water-logging
problems on the roads became worse after the commonwealth games because
while repairing and beautifying roads we forget to build openings for
water to flow out of the roads. NCR is worse. Living in Noida every
time it rains heavily our service lane gets so much water-logged bringing
dirty water and muck from the nearby nallah. Yesterday it was so bad.
We had to request the Noida authority to pump out the smelly water which
they did. But no permanent solution to this perennial problem.

Delay in clearance of Medical bills
A pensioner had submitted medical bills for reimbursement, which
were kept pending by the respondent authority, for a long time.
Hence, he sought information on the status of the same through
the RTI application. The appellant submitted that he is the life
member/beneficiary of the DGHS (Delhi Government Health Scheme)
and as per the circular issued by them on 1.4.1997, he is entitled
for 100% reimbursement of his medical bills. But the respondent
authority has not taken cognizance of the same and he was made
to wait for receiving the reimbursement for a long time. The respondent
authority submitted that all his medical bills were settled and
he has been paid all the medical dues in February, 2015. They
also explained that the delay is due to the fact that the case
of the appellant is the first of its kind, as he has retired from
an aided school and as per the rules, the aided is required to
bear 5% of the reimbursement and rest of the 95% will be borne
by the Department of Education. But this rule is applicable only
for serving employees of the aided schools. In this case, the
appellant had retired and the bills are submitted after his retirement.
Even the circular issued by the DGHS, which is being referred
by the appellant, is not clear in the case of pensioners who had
retired from aided schools. The CIC noted that the appellant is
76 year old senior citizen. The CIC directed the Rakesh Khadgam
Senior Accounts Officer (deemed PIO) to show cause why maximum
penalty should not be imposed on him for the delay in furnishing
the information to the appellant.
Comments
This case depicts that the RTI Act, 2005 has not only emerged
as a tool for obtaining information, but also for enforcing the
rights.
