The Arunachal
Pradesh Information Commission (APIC) has recommended the state's
director-general of police (DGP) to initiate 'disciplinary action' against the
officer-in-charge of Sangram police station under Kurung Kumey district for
"willfully" disobeying its order to furnish information under the RTI
Act, 2005.
The OC, who
is also the public information officer (PIO), did not furnish information sought
by a senior citizen from the village who cannot read and write, officials said.
The APIC
received a complaint from one Yumlam Pumi, stating that inspite of the
commission's "order" dated August 13, 2012, the OC did not furnish
him the case records pertaining to a motor vehicle accident in which his
younger brother Yumlam Tarang died, because of which the poor man could not
file the case for claiming compensation.
