Encroachment removed, Courts cleaned through RTI

Submitted by Anu Rao

Mr. S.N. Subramanya, a member of the Jayamahal Consumer Society, Bangalore and a volunteer of the PAC-CHRI Implementation Audit, has had some successful experiences in using KRIA:* In response to his application on the construction of a public toilet, the encroachment by a developer was brought to light, and the Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (Corporation) demolished the unsanctioned part of the plan.* In early 2004, he filed an application on the maintenance of buildings within the city Civil Court premises, and for good measure, sent a copy of the application to the Minister of the Public Works Department. On 2 September 2004, the Minister inspected the Civil Court, announced Rs. 25 lakhs for its maintenance and promised action within 15 days to make it a ‘model Court’. The Minister also instructed the BMP to clean the premises.
