Social activist Khalil Vasta pointed out that while it is mandatory to put up a board outside every office in the name of Public Information Officer and First Appellate Authority as required by the Right to Information Act 2005, the Group Education Officer, Panchayat Samiti and Gram Panchayat Someshwar have not put up these boards. When he asked the concerned people about this, he was rebuffed by an office. Vasta is a social activist and he has taken initiatives to bring justice to the fishermen, so he has exposed many cases of corruption. After receiving a negative response from the said office, Vasta had written a letter to the Zilla Parishad chief regarding the matter and instructed the concerned offices to put up a board with the name of the Public Information Officer and the First Appellate Officer and to take disciplinary action against those offices that did not put up the board. The Zilla Parishad has taken note of this letter immediately and they have written to all the Account Heads of the Zilla Parishad and the Group Development Officer Panchayat Samiti asking them to put up the boards of the Information Officer immediately. On 13.9.2024, the Deputy Chief Executive Officer has ordered to take immediate action. So the offices that avoid putting up these boards are going to have a hard time. www.konkantoday.com
