CIC WEBSITE’S NEW FEATURES LAUDABLE

Daily Pioneer: Bhubaneswar: Wednesday, January 10, 2018.
Sir,
The Central Information Commission (CIC) deserves all compliments for incorporating certain new features in its website which include viewing scanned PDF file of the complete documents submitted by a petitioner with the complaint or second appeal.
The CIC has now been equipped with infrastructure to register all submitted petitions within a day or two, which earlier used to take a much longer time. This has enabled the CIC to march towards a paperless e-management system whereby the Commissioners are now having complete case files on screens without needing paper files any more.
Every submission made in respect of some registered petition is expeditiously scanned to be linked with the registered petition.
It is time the CIC added some more features on its website like updated subject-wise compendium of all RTI-related DOPT circulars. Likewise all RTI-related judgments of the Supreme Court and the High Courts, if put subject-wise on CIC-website, would be a very useful feature for all concerned ones, including even the Commissioners to write their verdicts in tune with court verdicts. I hope our Odisha Information Commission would follow this soon.
