In what could be termed as a major step towards ensuring proper response to RTI queries under the RTI Act, the State Government has issued a circular warning that improper replies by public information officers could invite penal action, including imprisonment for 5 years. RTI activists welcomed the circular, and opined that it would put an end to the practice of officials purposefully hoarding important files. http://bit.ly/1J5HQBZ http://bit.ly/1J5HQBZ+ -- Peterk Dallas, Tx [log in to unmask] Save our in-boxes! http://emailcharter.org "The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
