NEW DELHI: The New Delhi Municipal Council missed the deadline September 15 set by Central Information Commission for uploading all information related to tendering processes of Games-related projects.
According to NDMC, they were unable to collect all relevant date by Wednesday. Said an official, "We are still in the process of collecting data from various departments and will be able to upload the information on our website by Thursday.''
CIC had asked Delhi government, NDMC, MCD to upload all details of their Games-related projects pertaining to the last five years on their respective websites. While NDMC and Delhi government had to furnish all details by September 15, MCD had been given time till September 30.
The CIC had written a letter to the agencies on August 10 saying that a lot of information about the agencies was not available in the public domain as it should be under section 4 of the RTI Act. It had asked them to be more transparent in their dealings as this would reduce the load of RTI applications.
The CIC had also issued a set pattern under which all the details had to be furnished the government agencies will have to reveal the number of people who had applied for the tenders of a said Games contract, date of completion of the project and whether any penalty was levied.
