The New RTI Portal: An Effective Step
Delhi Government’s new RTI portal will make the working of all the public departments and government authorities more transparent and accountable. Common people will now have a powerful tool at their fingertips to get all of their queries answered quickly and effectively. Almost 2.74 lac queries has been already registered at the RTI portal a day before its launch from Sunday evening out of what 2.70 lac have already been taken care of.
Right almost 4 UTs and 25 states are maintaining the Right to Information online portals of their own in India. Being quite user friendly the RTI portals are of a great benefit to the people as it gives information of all the important government and public departments whose functioning and methods always remain aloof from the eyes of the common people.
