Awareness Campaign

Indian Express: New Delhi: Wednesday, July 04, 2012.

NOBODY in the ruling class has been as troubled by the RTI in recent months as Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia. Information like details of his foreign travel and expenditure incurred on toilets in Yojana Bhawan, obtained through RTI, has seen Ahluwalia receiving a lot of bad publicity. His office has now instructed the RTI cell of the Planning Commission that any details about him in future must be shown to be him before being disclosed. In fact, a meeting dealing with RTIs in Yojana Bhawan has been convened for Wednesday, ostensibly to increase awareness about RTIs.
