Maharashtra Government secretly ammended the RTI rule without taking people into confidence. The Amendment was done on 16 - 01 - 2012.
This has greatly weakened the RTI Act.
The Government has DEFIED THE LEGAL MANDATE OF SECTION 4(1)(C) OF RTI ACT 2005: “ Every public authority shall - publish all relevant facts while formulating important policies or announcing the decisions which affect public.”
The notification for this is available here : http://tinyurl.com/Mrashtra-RTIRulesAmend-Jan2012
Hence, Please Sign this Petition to urge the CM to take immediate action to safeguard good governance and transparent administration in the state.
