Is RTI an effective tool in extrcting informations?

[draktripathi]

Dear Sir,
Is there any truth in the statement that RTI is becoming an ineffective tool in extracting informations from Govt.offices paticularly from state Govts.like U.P. If not so, then what one should do under RTI to force them to give you the correct informations?
Yours

It is true that politicians and babus are trying to puncture RTI to save their misdeeds. However, alert citizens must come together [as bad politicians and babus have ganged up] and ensure that RTI becomes effective. In democracy numbers count. Lack of awareness of procedure, unwillingness to fight back and move courts etc are reasons for not getting proper information in time.

your statement is partially true . Just remember, when you are committed to a particular goal , you achieve it , may be after a round or two of hurdles . Persistence and knowledge are two keywords .
