The commission then ordered that the first appellate authority make sure that the applicant gets information he wants
The state information commission (SIC) in three different orders, has asked the the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to put up details of road repair and other development works online once they are complete.
The three orders dated September 27, 2017 were passed by Ajit Kumar Jain, who holds additional charge as the state’s chief information commissioner, on an appeal filed by Shirkant Raut, a resident of Jacob Circle.
Raut had sought details of the repair work carried out by different agencies in T- ward (Mulund) among others. He had asked about the projects carried out by M/s Relcon Infrastructures Company Limited, M/s M E Infraprojects Pvt Ltd, M/s Sunrise Stone Industries Pvt Ltd.
“I had filed an RTI applications for information on work done, materials used, bills raised, amount sanctioned, the work pending and so on because every year BMC allots thousands of crores for road repairs but the road condition remains poor. They show bills worth Rs 100 crore but work done is for Rs 50 crore. We have a network of people and we wanted to check if money is spent in the different areas of city where they claim to spend it.”
During the hearing, Raut said that officers weren’t provide the information. The commission then ordered that the first appellate authority make sure that the applicant gets information he wants.
Observing that citizensseek information about development works which could be too lengthy to be given to the applicant, it directed that works carried out by the BMC be put up online once within a month’s time after completion, and a compliance report be sent to the commission.
