Srinagar, Feb 12: Jammu and Kashmir RTI Movement has started a membership drive across the State for awareness and sensitization of public about matters related to governance, corruption and other allied issues by making rigorous use of the Right to Information Act (RTI).
The Convener of J&K RTI Movement Dr Raja Muzaffar Bhat in a statement said the group plans to register 30,000 members across the State this year.
“The aim of this membership drive is to creating mass awareness about corruption, mis-governance, issues related to accountability and transparency by creating awareness about RTI Act,” Bhat said.
He said there are hundreds of volunteers and activists associated with RTI Movement. “But for last couple of years, the activists have been demanding that they must be given various tasks to work in different areas and should have some kind of identification in order to ensure better working of the RTI Movement. So the working committee of the RTI Movement decided to start the membership drive across the State,” said Dr Sheikh Ghulam Rasool founder member of the RTI Movement.
