Starting next month, all replies given under RTI by ministries will be posted online, available for access to all and not just to persons seeking the information. This will mean unprecedented scale of disclosure and cheer transparency advocates, especially those in the NGO sector with whom this government has had a testy relationship. Until now, only the person filing the RTI application seeking replies from a ministry or a government department would get the reply and that too mostly via post. The Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) on Tuesday issued an official memorandum to all central ministries and departments directing them to take immediate action to ensure that the facility to upload the reply to RTI application and first appeal on the website of the respective ministry or department may be started from October 31. Replies to queries will be put up on ministries website and be available for all to view and not just the person behind the query. economictimes.indiatimes/news/politics-and-nation/narendra-modi-government-takes-rti-to-another-level-all-replies-to-be-put-online/articleshow/44898219.cms?utm_source=contentofinterest&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=cppst
