Re: [rti4empowerment] RTI reply - a new trend

I agree . this is preposterous 

I have asked many queries and nobody harassed me like this 

I am worried whether people in mumbai learn of this chennai trick 

thanks

Dear friends / RTI activists,

 

I asked for some information from M/s Chennai Petroleum Corporation Ltd, a Government of India Undertaking under Ministry of Petroleum under RTI Act. I am enclosing copy of letter for information of all.

 

The gist of letter is as followes:

 

I quote:

 

In compliance with Sec 3 of Right to Information Act 2005, we request you to kindly send us the proof for citizenship like a copy of Election Identity Card, or a copy of tje Passport issued by Govt. of India or any document duly attested by a Notory Public / Executive magistrate to eable us to procede further.

 

Unquote.

 

I have sought information from many Cental Government Department, State Government Departments, and Public Sector Undertaking etc and so for none .have asked for proof of my Citizenship. This appear to be uncalled for and illigal new trend.

 

I would very much appreciate some advise - how should I procede further. 

 

warm regards / rangarajan
