Dilli Ka Babu: Information gap

Deccan Chronicle  

The growing belief in Dilli is that the Centre is not keen on promoting transparency in the administration. The Central Information Commission will see the exit of four information commissioners including the chief information commissioner, R.K. Mathur, following the completion of their term. This will leave the CIC panel with just three information commissioners, namely Sudhir Bhargava, Bimal Julka and Divya Prakash Sinha, instead of the sanctioned strength of 11. Over 30 per cent of posts of chief information commissioners and information commissioners are lying vacant across the country. Perils of ignoring protocol The Trumpian snub to India’s official invitation to the US President to be the chief guest at the Republic Day parade next year may have been downplayed in the media, but sources say that MEA mandarins are still rather upset at the way this was dealt with.
