This is for the infomation to all members that Rti is a very powerfull weapon to used on ugly govt system to correct them. I suffered a lot to get my water bill corrected but no one was turning ear to listen about,take action on my two applications give before. From your guiding protocol I took the procedure and filed the RTI application, surprisingly many departmental personnel came to my house to compromise. I flatly refused them for intertaining asked them to take action on my previous applications and answer to the RTI. Now the count down started and application started moving from one section to the other all the movements were inform me side by side. One request letter for wait on was sent. After 20 days on of the officer called me in the office with humble request. I was treated as vip and served tea, requested to tell the problem as they were not able to find in record. The bill of 832 rupees were paid but did not reflect in computer accounting section. That officer insured me that will be corrected with surcharges where I he refuse to do the any correction. On 27th day of my RTI application I got reply Rs1225/- as advance payment will be adjusted in my coming bill. I thanks to RTI act and senior staff to help me -Satnam singh Delhi

Hon'ble members. In view of your friend, minted water bill was furnished by the department. When the R.T.I. queries made regarding the furnished bill then the genuine water bill was made available by the department. Ipsofacto obvious that concerned staff was not interested to be exposed in public through RTI. Thanks to learned advocate for applying RTI in order to get a genuine water bill which will setup good pecedent for others facing tyranny of errant bureaucrats.
