PEASKY CALLS AND SMS' -  NEED TO FILE RTI TO TRAI

 

Telecom Regulatory Authority has for the second time extended the date to stop peasky call to end of February.  One does not know whether this is the final extension or some more will come after that.  Subscribers are put to great inconvenience due to unsolicited calls and SMS'. 

 

2.       The member of this Forum should file RTI application soliciting, interalia, following information:

 

a)     Copies of earlier orders to the Mobile Operators. B). Copies of representations made by the operators requesting to extend the date.  File notings on the decision to extend the deadlines twice.

 

Only such action can eliminate chances of further extension as TRAI seems to the over accommodative to mobile operators.

[rti4empowerment] Being Personal

Friends,

As we all know, this is a group of people who somehow think or feel associated with the movement for Right to Information. Yes, I agree that not all of us might be equally enthusiastic to the cause. Again, the level of dedication and commitment could be different, but nevertheless we need to understand that in today's world, when there are so many other avenues to pass away one's time, if someone comes to this group, this fact itself is appreciable.

With this background, I find it improper when some of the more "enlightened" members of this group start issuing negative sentences and opinions about others. What does it mean? As one of the members rightly pointed out, it gives a feeling that we r fighting more amongst us, than fighting for some cause.

I would request the members to kindly think over this matter. Instead of undermining others worth and getting too judgemental, let us try to increase our own contributions.

One more request- I don't believe in criticising others personally and don't relish others doing the same to me.

RE: [rti4empowerment] Role of RCS in Cooperative Group Housing Societies

Dear Mr. Roy,
 
Thanks for your response which I have been waiting from an intelligent expert so long.
 
2.  Secondly, RCS is a public authority from which I can ask some question, particularly this one. RCS says that Coop. Group Housing Society
     is not a public authorty. I myself know this. Had it been so, I would have sought information from the Society. 
 
3. I am one of the 80 members and hold share certificate also since 1988.
 
4. As per my information,  no CGHS can draw lots without the presence of one representative from RCS ( a supervisory and monitoring authority
   under DCS Act) office and one from DDA which hss given land to the Society on subsidised rates). These two pwersons from thesae agencies
   come for draw of lots when membership is beyong doubt. These days in Dwarka, representatives of RCS and DDA are not coming for draw of lots
   for those societies which were investigated by the CBI. Out of 57 or 47 socieities, 27 have held draw on their own by calling politicians. RCS has
   threatened for legal action against these societies. 
 
5. You know that for some time, Mr. Satyya Gopal comparatively an honest I.A.S officer who issued show cause notices to five members who own
    immovable property in posh colonies in Delhi (In Delhi 65 to 70 percent flats are kept by builders for commercial purpose and they are sold within
    2-3 years of allotment).  After asking for the repective files twice by him to the President of the Society, Society did not submit papers to RCS. 
   After his trasfer, new RCS also asked two times, but Society did not oblige him also. After some settlement (how much money was involved in the deal)
   this RCS having found immovable property by these 5 members, he issed non-speaking orders saying " According to the President of the Society, the appellant
   has grudge against the Society and certain members and there is no truth in the complaint, I allow these members to have this flat of the Society also.      .      
 
6. My only question is whether RCS cannot be asked to get information from the Society if it has supervisory and monitoring role under DCS Act?
 
7. Some other friend also has adviseed me to make a criminal case against the Society. 
 
Thanks once again for your advice and indirect but very useful suggestion.

Dear Mr Goyal

If you have a grievance against the Society / RCS then RTI is not the tool to resolve it.
Have you availed your remedies under the DCS Act and Rules. Actually do you even possess a copy of the DCS Act and Rules, or have read it ? Have you availed your criminal remedies ?

1) Let me say that the RCS has given you a perfect reply. Is it your say that the 79 affidavits are physically held by the RCS "I have asked for information
which is with this Public Authority
" ? If so under which clause / Rule / Bylaw /Practice is it held by the RCS and not by the Society?

2) How many flats are there in the Society in question ? If there are only 79, then how come you are the 80th member ? Are you an original founding member ? How were you inducted as a member ? Do you have a valid share-certificate ? Can you vote at the elections ? What were you doing when only 79 flats were constructed ?

3) The 3rd query you have raised is because of the complete corruption by former RCS and Delhi Govt and LG and land mafia. You all know the Diwakar scandal. You are probably the victim of a criminal fraud  / cheating. Your remedy (if any) lies elsewhere

[rti4empowerment] Fw: Stand with Egypt

Avaaz.org - The World in Action
 

Sent: Sunday, January 30, 2011 1:15 AM
Subject: Stand with Egypt

Dear friends,



Brave Egyptian protesters will determine in the coming hours whether tyranny or democracy prevails in Egypt and across the region. They've appealed for international solidarity – let's send them a massive response, and hold our governments accountable to stand with them too:

Sign the petition!
Millions of brave Egyptians are right now facing a fateful choice. Thousands have been jailed, injured or killed in the last few days. But if they press on in peaceful protest, they could end decades of tyranny.

The protesters have appealed for international solidarity, but the dictatorship knows the power of unity at a time like this – they've desperately tried to cut Egyptians off from the world and each other by completely shutting down the internet and mobile networks.

Satellite and radio networks can still break through the regime blackout -- let's flood those airwaves with a massive cry of solidarity showing Egyptians that we stand with them, and that we'll hold our governments accountable to stand with them too. The situation is at a tipping point -- every hour counts -- click below to sign the solidarity message, and forward this email:

https://secure.avaaz.org/en/democracy_for_egypt/?vl

People power is sweeping the Middle East. In days, peaceful protesters brought down Tunisia's 30-year dictatorship. Now the protests are spreading to Egypt, Yemen, Jordan and beyond. This could be the Arab world's Berlin Wall moment. If tyranny falls in Egypt, a tidal wave of democracy could sweep the entire region.

Egyptian dictator Hosni Mubarak has tried to crush the rallies. But with incredible bravery and determination, the protesters keep coming.

There are moments when history is written not by the powerful, but by people. This is one of them. The actions of ordinary Egyptians in the coming hours will have a massive effect on their country, the region, and our world. Let's cheer them on with our own pledge to stand with them in their struggle:  

https://secure.avaaz.org/en/democracy_for_egypt/?vl


Mubarak's family has left the country, but last night he ordered the military into the streets. He's ominously promised 0 tolerance for what he calls 'chaos'. Either way, history will be made in the next few days. Let's make this the moment that shows every dictator on our planet that they cannot stand long against the courage of people united.

With hope and admiration for the Egyptian people,
Ricken, Rewan, Ben, Graziela, Alice, Kien and the rest of the Avaaz team

Now mafia can go to any extent to have its way and even murder the honest officers and whistle blowers. Oil mafia has burnt alive an honest officer Yashwant Sonawane, ADM.  Govt. has declared Rs 25 lakhs to the berevered family of the Mr. Sonawane. Seven persons have been arrested for the murder of ADM.

 

In an other incident, an RTI activist Mr Amarnath Pandey, 55, an RTI activist and homocopathy dotor was shot at.  In this case,, an FIR has been registered against three persons including a Block Development Offier.  Pandey has tried to expose corruption in development block Ghorawal due to which govt issued a recovery order of Rs. 30 lakh from the concerned officers for misappropriation of funds.  Last week also, Pandey was hit by a jeep when he was returning home on his scooter.

[rti4empowerment] Request for Information

Dear RTI Activists,
 
Cooperative Group Housing Societies in Delhi and other States have been allotted land for building houses at SUBSIDISED RATES. Office of the and position as Registrar, a State Government Officer has been created to monitor the activities of these societies. With this limited background, my question being put to RTI Activists is:
 
1.    Are these cooperative housing societies are not supposed under to seek permission from the Registrar of Cooperative Socieites for original allotment of flats through presence of his official after sending all relevant documents or its permission for transfer of flat to blood relations or third paerty for commercial gains by the Presidents of these Societies? 
 
2. In one R TI REPLY, RCS, Govt. of NCT of Delhi  has said that "information sought by you  pertains to society record. The Society is not a public authority,  hence your application cannot be forwarded to society to provide you the information".
 
I shall be grateful to Activists of their opinion whether RCS is simply show piece or has he has some responsibility in the affairs of these3 socieities?

CONFINING TO ONE SUBJECT AND LIMITING WORDS IN RTI NOT DESIRABLE

M. K. Gupta

 

          The Department of Pension and Training (DoPT) is putting hard labour to limit RTI application to 250 words and allowing queries only on one subject at a time.  This is against the Act passed by the Parliament, which is the Supreme law making body.  If these proposals are implemented, these should be challenged in the Court of Law.

         

Moreover, many persons are capable to ask for more information on one subject even in 250 words than the information they may ask in unlimited words.  Moreover, the PIO or the Public authority will decide and define that the RTI is not on more than one subject and this will be open to widespread misuse.  A citizen does not have the means that something pertaining to an office is on the one subject or not.  This provisions are be misused by opening many files on one subject by sub-dividing the subject or by assigning a subject to many officers and innovative ways can be invented by the Departments to do so.  In the Delhi Municipal Corporation in some areas, the cleanliness of roads is the responsibility of one Department of MCD but the cleaning the sewer is of another Department and the removal of Malwa (construction waste) comes under the purview of third Department.  Even the cleanliness of areas in front shops immediately after the shops in Dwarka, Delhi comes under the Delhi Development Authority. Though, the subject is one i.e. "Cleanliness" but an RTI application on sanitation may and will be rejected on this score.  This is only an example and such instances can be found in thousands.  On the contrary, this will burden the Public Authority more as the applicants will be compelled to file over one application if they have more than one query.

 

The RTI has brought some qualitative changes and transprancy in the working of the government's departments to an extent but such proposals will negate this.  As far as argument of long RTI application is concerned, there is already a provision in the RTI Act that the information solicited should not disprosposnately divert the resources of the Public Authority. Recently, the Delhi High Court has also put a fine of Rs.75,000/- on Mr. Nijhawan of Paardarsita for unreasonable queries and after that, no such case has come to the fore.

 

Govt. should once more reconsider before rejecting the recommendations of the National Advisory Council on this.

Dear Mr Modi

Its good to see that somebody is still reading mails from this group.

The declared purpose of this group is RTI and discussions on CIC/SIC/HC decisions. Unfortunately we have not been having any kind of civilised discussion for a variety of reasons. Instead we are merely circulating news and views, such as about these so-called RTI activists.

Who or what is an "RTI activist". Is the term defined in the RTI Act ? Is an RTI activist entitled to some sort of special status ? How do you distinguish a blackmailer who uses RTI from an activist ? Is it not true that these so-called RTI activists are endangering the lives of ordinary citizens who use RTI ? When all these incidents show that the Govt is
powerless to stop the violence and killings of blackmailers, then why should these mafias distinguish between killing a citizen who files 1 RTI about his neighours illegal construction from a professional extortionist who files hundreds of such RTIs for blackmail ? Is it not
easier for mafias to kill innocent citizens who used RTI occasionally (soft targets) as a warning not to files RTIs against their illegal buildings.

The problem is that there are professional RTI gangs who are hand in glove with mafias. They encourage ordinary citizens to file RTIs at the drop of a hat for trivial problems. They organise camps to promote bizarre concepts like "Use RTI avoid bribes". As a result the instituionalised grievance system of the PA lose its value and wither away. Ask yourself
is it not true that all these so-called hero RTI activists are all ex-babus with serious corruption / viligilance / spying charges pending against them.

I made a statement sometime back for which I apologised. I now see that I was wrong to apologise because my gut feeling was correct. So I shall repeat that statement again.

THE MORE RTI ACTIVISTS ARE SHOT THE BETTER FOR RTI !!!

Dear Friends,

This is my first mail to this group, though i keep reading most of the mails. Sometimes i felt to quit, but  left the idea, not because it ever sensitized me about any of the issue discussed here, but atleast it keeps making me aware, that though many of us claim to work for RTI, just a few of us (literally can be counted) really do so. Maximum of us want to comment to make ourself in the centre of the Debate.

Now, a man who filed an RTI application was shot dead, the issue of RTI remains NREGA, a flagship scheme over our govt get boast of.

Now, what proof we require to be submitted by the Victim's side to get case highlighted by RTI Supporters like us. Are we here to help for RTI activists? 

Mr Sharabjit, your few ideas really motivates me but i feel sorry that most of them reflect your immaturity. Well I don't know at what position you work at and what capacity you have to suuport RTI; but atleast I can say this that you are the not one who can really fight for common man right. You guys believe in just making comments over one another................ It seems that RTI has become such a Issue, where people are just making a race to come at fore front seeing others in their competition; to be called that they are the ones who work for RTI.
 
Now, yourself says that he filed an RTI against  BDO for NREGA Issues. Is not enough for us just get sensitized even we know what RTI is; leave to be called as RTI activist, shame on us ............... if we can't do anything ourselves, atleast we can motivate others to do.

with warm regards
