Fresh
controversy in Maharashtra as RTI activists are angry after 2 government
notifications. The activists allege that it's an attempt to muzzle the basic
freedom of RTI. One of the circulars, issued in the last week of September,
exempts the state Anti-Corruption Bureau from the purview of RTI queries while
the other issued by the administration of the Governor-ruled state constrains
all government departments from releasing any information deemed "not in
public interest". RTI Activist Shailesh Gandhi has written letters of
protest to the Governor of Maharashtra and the state Information commissioner.
