Joint Collector Vivek Yadav on Saturday directed all departments to display the names of Public Information Officers and Assistant Public Information Officers prominently in their respective offices for the effective implementation of the Right to Information Act.
He asked them to maintain a specific record of RTI applications and provide information to people within the stipulated 30 days. Srikakulam District Revenue Officer B.H.S. Venkataramana said several departments were not able to provide information, leading to filing of appeals in the RTI commissioner's officer.
