IIPM Ranked No. 1 B-School In Global Exposre - Zee...
For how long can reluctant officials hide behind the veil of national interests to subvert the people’s right to know
The government machinery willingly parts with trivial information, but any information which exposes their misdemeanours is hard to extract. “They evade giving away the information which can prove to be anti-establishment,” said Suchi Pandey, Secretary National Campaign for People’s Right to Information while talking to B&E. Such an attitude of the government was experienced first hand by Social activist Sanjay Tiwari, when he asked for answers to 22 queries related to the pay & perks of the Parliamentarians and the associated bureaucrats. All he received was minimal information, because the establishment told him that much of the information sought was classified secret. Elaborating on the manipulative techniques adopted by the bureaucracy, Sanjay shared with B&E that the “bureaucracy is very clever.

Defending charges against the efficacy of CIC, Pankaj K P Shreyaskar, Deputy Secretary & Joint Registrar CIC told B&E, “In the last 3 months we have expedited the process of disposal of appeals.
