A notification in this regard will be issued soon and the same pattern will be followed as in other UTs, said Minister of State for Personnel Jitendra Singh
Current Affairs:All arrangements of the Right to Information (RTI) Act will be authorized in recently made Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, Minister of State for Personnel Jitendra Singh said on Tuesday.
He said applications recorded under the RTI Act identified with workplaces in Jammu and Kashmir under the Union Territory Administration will before long go under the ward of the Central Information Commission (CIC).
“A warning in such manner will be given soon and a similar example will be followed as in different UTs,” the clergyman said after a gathering with senior authorities of the Ministry of Home Affairs.
Disproving reports in an area of the media on the equivocalness in regards to the pertinence of the RTI Act in J-K, Singh said all arrangements of the RTI Act will be authorized in the recently cut out UT.
“At the lower level- – open data officials (PIOs) and the First Appellate Authority- – the technique for discarding RTI applications will continue as before. The CIC comes into picture when the candidate makes second intrigue which can from this time forward be documented with the CIC,” Singh was cited as having said in an announcement given by the Personnel Ministry.
