Civil Society has filed a RTI application to know the status of escalators
installed at the local railway station around a year ago alleging that these
are seldom operational.
President of
the society PC Bali said the escalators were installed with much fanfare to
help passengers move around without much difficulty.
He said in
the past one year, escalators had been seen operational only on a few
instances.
He said the
society would ensure that the escalators were made operational daily so that
passengers could get benefitted from the service.
Earlier, Bali
had initiated a campaign to get defunct street lights repaired in various
areas using RTI and RTS Acts.
“Though the
government has introduced the Right to Service Act, residents are not aware
about the same,” Bali said.
