The
Hindu: Chennai: Sunday, 20 September 2015.
Local
governments such as Chennai Corporation have started implementing suo motu
disclosure under Right to Information Act 2005. Residents will be able to
access online a wide range of civic information once “all details of the public
authority are uploaded on its website.”
This move
follows the recommendations of a committee of experts comprising retired
Central Chief Information Commissioner A. N. Tiwari and retired Information
Commissioner M. M. Ansari to strengthen implementation of section 4 of RTI Act
2005. “All regional deputy commissioners and zonal officers of Chennai
Corporation have received instructions on suo motu disclosure of information
for residents,” said an official.
Information
on the status of MLA, MP and councillors fund for amenities will be disclosed
shortly.
