Chandigarh, November 17

Right to Information (RTI) activists from across the state, under the banner of Jan Abhiyan Manch (JAM), today alleged dilution of the RTI Act by the state government.

In a memorandum to Chief Information Commission Yash Pal Singal, a delegation of the manch alleged that certain amendments to the Act by the current government were aimed at “destroying” the legislation. These amendments included mandatory identity proof for RTI applicants and bar on providing information on educational qualifications and experience certificates of government servants.
