In Omar's RTI era, GAD website hides too much
4/14/2014 12:21:20 AM
Syed Junaid Hashmi JAMMU, Apr 13: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah's much touted Right to Information (RTI) Act-2009 seems to have miserably failed to impress his own General Administration Department (GAD) since it has withdrawn most of the controversial and administratively important information from its website. Go to www.jkgad.nic.in and you would find how GAD which is now headed by new Secretary Mohammed Asharaf Bukhari has used all expertise to ensure that those logging on to the website do not get the required information without much trouble and are forced to seek the same through RTI whose reply the department knows it can delay on one pretext or the other. The department has used all intellect in withdrawing the information about the last three tenures and postings of IAS as well as KAS officers.

4/14/2014 12:20:20 AM
