Another Positive from Uttar Pradesh

Since long , RTI activists in Uttar Pradesh were fighting for the
implementation of penalty orders / Final orders of UPSIC by the State
. The matter was taken up at all the levels be it UPSIC ,
Administrative reforms department of Uttar Pradesh Government ,
Office of Chief Secretary of Uttar Pradesh Government , Office of the
Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh or Office of the Governor of Uttar
Pradesh through meetings and Correspondence .

The continuous efforts of RTI activists have resulted in formation a
State Level Committee ( SLC ) with the Chief Secretary of U. P.
Government as its Chairman .

The SLC shall have its first meeting on 08th September , 2010 from
12:30PM to 01:30PM to review the implementation of penalty orders /
Final orders of UPSIC by the State since RTI act 2005 was implemented
in U.P. .

Administrative reforms department ( ARD ) of Uttar Pradesh Government
( the Nodal Department for effective implementation of RTI act in
State ) has issued letters to all departmental heads to ensure
recovery of penalty amount from respective Public Information Officers
by UPSIC under section 20 of RTI act 2005 and inform the ARD latest by
05th September 2010 . The SLC shall have its meetings regularly to
ensure compliance of UPSIC orders in Uttar Pradesh.
