'RTI Is Like A Magic Wand For Poor People'

The Bihar Right to Information Manch has taken up cudgels to educate the common people especially illiterate villagers about the right to information and how to use it to get their genuine works, buried in the files in government offices, done.

Manch convener Parveen Amanullah said, "RTI is like a magic wand and highly helpful for the poor people who are tired of running from one table to another for getting their works done. It help them to get things done without greasing the palms of the corrupt and greedy Babus."

The non-cooperative and arrogant attitude of the officials is also being exposed through this method. Shakyamuni Welfare Association secretary Jainath Prasad said that when he sought information from the Kesaria BDO about the pending issues, the officials threatened to send him to jail.

Prasad approached Amanullah's RTI which complained to the personnel department. Sources said that an inquiry has been ordered into the incident.

The Manch guides the needy people as to how to apply and then seek information about the progress with regard to their applications. Amanullah said that hundreds of people with various problems have been able to solve their problems as the departments concerned acted promptly to dispose of the files.
