Demanding appointment of a Lokayukta, a group of RTI activists staged a protest in front of the Lokayukta office entrance here today, and raised a slogan “Save Lokayukta.”
They tried to block the office entrance following which the police detained them.
The protesters accused the government of destroying the Lokayukta establishment systematically by not appointing a Lokayukta since one-and-a-half years. Though the institution is being manned by two Upa Lokayuktas, it’s not functioning accordingly, they added.
