So much on RTI is happening at Palghat; but our National Dailies maintain a calculated silence. Kindly recollect the incidence where the SIC has ordered the RDO, Palght, not to accept application submitted under Section 5(2). One Maj Ravindran (Retd) is the king-pin. Any of our members interested to know the address of Maj Ravindran, may contact me.
