Ensure effective implementation of RTI Act, says CIC

State Chief Information Commissioner (In-charge) Repala Srinivasa Rao has asked the officers to ensure that information sought by the citizens is provided in a time-bound manner.

Addressing a workshop here on Tuesday as part of Right to Information Act Awareness Week, Mr. Srinivasa Rao said that the RTI week was being observed from October 5 to 12 to mark the 17 years of effective implementation of the RTI Act across the country.
