Petitioning Maharashtra CM to Withdraw RTI Rules amendment notified in Jan 2012

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.

All the people paused at different places for 2 minutes holding different banners and posters spreading the message of Jan Lokpal.
