Business Recorder: Multan: Monday, April 30, 2018.
The Punjab
government has introduced Right to Information (RTI) Act with an objective to
provide requisite information to people about different projects and affairs of
the government departments.
The
Transparency International has acknowledged that corruption rate has decreased
remarkably after introduction of the act.
This was
stated by Additional Deputy Commissioner Manzoor Khan Chandio in an awareness
session, held here on Sunday.
The RTI Act
is very much useful for lawyers, journalists and other people. People could get
any specific information about any development project. Executive Director
Punjab Information Commission Ahmed Naeem said that all government departments
were bound to provide required information to people.
In case, any
department was not cooperating, people could contact the Punjab Information
Commission, said Executive Director Ahmed Naeem Malik.
On this
occasion, local journalists and lawyers were also present.
