instrument in the hands of people that can help them to play the role of watch
dogs for developmental activities in their respective areas.
As per a statement issued, on the occasion of RTI Day, Shuja requested the administration to arrange workshops and seminars about the RTI Act for the new government officials as some officials in the administration may be ignorant of the Act and some may misinterpret the provisions of the Act in their replies to RTI Applications.
