Haryana
government has issued guidelines regarding importance of suo motu disclosure
under RTI and also about duties and responsibilities to ensure proper upload of
information on websites of different departments.
The nodal
officer for a department or corporation's website would ensure that all
information required to be placed in public domain as per section 4 of RTI Act
is uploaded and updated on a regular basis, said a spokesperson of
Administrative Reforms Department today.
In case this
has not been done, it would be completed at the earliest and a certificate to
this effect would be given by head of the department to this department within
a week, he said adding, "This will decrease the number of
applications."
He said information
including name, designation and contact details of the State Public Information
Officer (SPIO) and First Appellant Authority both at the headquarters and in
the field must be prominently displayed on the website and on the notice board
of SPIO office and Appellant Authority.
Head of the
department and nodal officers would ensure the applications received under RTI
are disposed off in time by providing information to the applicant, he said.
A written
communication to this effect has been sent to all officials concerned including
administrative secretaries, heads of departments, commissioners of all the four
divisions to ensure immediate compliance of these instructions, he said.
