Empower CIC

I
Sir,
This has reference to the article ‘RTI makes Junior Officers ‘Scape goats” DE dated Oct 15.
It is very wisely written that the CIC should be empowered to fine up to special secretary rank officers.
Yours etc…

Sir,
There is urgent need to take into account the concern expressed by the author. The Government should take steps to strengthen RTI institution, so that people can get their grievances redressed immediately.
Many people have benefitted so far by approaching  this office, and many more people will also get benefitted in the future as well, in case it is not made a toothless tiger by the Government(s).
Yours etc….
