RIGHT TO INFORMATION

A man had applied for an electric connection way back in 1998. Though the relevant laws specify that the connection must be provided within 30 days, he had not got a connection even till 2002, though many of his relatives and neighbours, who had applied much later, had already got connections. This was mainly because he refused to pay the bribes that were demanded. In 2002 he filed an application under the RTI Act, asking for a report of the progress on his application and identification and punishment of those officers who had delayed action on his application. His connection was fixed within ten days of his asking for this information!!
