IAS officer uses RTI to know his job
Tuesday April 17 2007 00:00 IST
<SMALL>BANGALORE: A senior IAS officer who was given six different postings during the past six months has invoked the Right to Information (RTI) Act to know what the government expected from him.
MD of Mysore Lamps, M N Vijayakumar, has no salary, supporting staff or official car as he heads a sick company.
At the time of posting, his terms of deputation were not specified. Vijaykumar had sought the clarification under RTI from Commerce and Industries Department and from Department of Personnel and Administrative Reforms, but to no avail.
He finally appealed before Karnataka Information Commission which on Friday ordered the government to comply with his demand by Friday.
In September 2006, Vijaykumar was posted as regional commissioner of Gulbarga and as principal secretary to minorities department on October 26, 2006, before sending him back to Gulbarga on October 27.
On February 3, 2007 Vijaykumar was posted as Bangalore regional commissioner again to be transferred as principal secretary to department of public enterprises on February 24. Interestingly this decision too was reversed before he could take charge. He was finally posted as MD Mysore Lamps.
As Bangalore Regional Commissioner, Vijaykumar had formulated a scheme where the citizen could have access to the files through web cameras. He was transferred just a day before the scheme was to be launched. In his complaint, he has also said that he faces threat to his life.</SMALL>

From the press report, we have no way of knowing if "the threat to his life" is related exclusively to provision of information alone, in which case, a speedier reply within three days can be invoked. But obviously there is something more to it, than what has been published in press. If the real story behind this officer's suffering comes out, more skeletons in the cupboard might be revealed.
