We think of the Nuclear Deal draft agreement that was put on the web. And, two days ago, the Govt of West Bengal put its 'secret' contract with the Tatas on Singur land on the web. I call it 'secret' because apparently the details sought under RTI Act were once rejected by the government in the past. 341194@desicritics.org Wed, 10 Sep 2008 02:51:38 EDT http://desicritics.org/2008/09/05/141244.php#comment-341163 Totally agree. There are problems with implementation, but for the people who use this tool and find it working, it is a great tool that gets them information from the red tape organization 341163@desicritics.org Tue, 9 Sep 2008 06:16:54 EDT http://desicritics.org/2008/09/05/141244.php#comment-341058 RTI when used effectively can check govt. excesses and abuses agree more awareness and easier access are needed 341058@desicritics.org Sun, 7 Sep 2008 15:04:49 EDT
