Kerala DGP's Circular to Police Force

Indian Express: Thiruvananthapuram: Wednesday, 24 February 2016.
Kerala State Police Chief T P Senkumar, in a circular issued on Tuesday, instructed the police force to ensure that the public received the information they sought  under the Right to Information Act and called for maintaining transparency in the police department.
The police chief, however, warned that such information should only be disclosed after taking into account the factors of law, security and secrecy of the sought-after subject. The circular said the department could issue FIR and general diary records under the RTI provided they were of secretive nature.
