RTI Commission dealing with 18,000 pending cases
As part of its state-wide campaign to enhance transparency and public accountability, the Telangana State Right to Information (RTI) Commission started its district-level tours with Medak as the first stop on Tuesday (July 29, 2025). State Chief Information Commissioner Chandrasekhar Reddy, along with Commissioners Boreddy Ayodhya Reddy, Desham Bhupal, P.V. Srinivas Rao, Mohisin Parveen, and Merla Vaishnavi, conducted a series of meetings and awareness programmes at the Medak Integrated Collectorate Office. An RTI awareness conference held at Prajavani Hall aimed at training Public Information Officers (PIOs) on the legal provisions and responsibilities under the RTI Act. District Collector Rahul Raj was present. Mr. Chandrasekhar Reddy highlighted the importance of the RTI Act and revealed that 18,000 cases are currently pending with the Commission, primarily due to the lack of response from departments over the past decade. He stressed the need for government offices to establish citizen charter boards and respond to information requests within 30 days, as mandated by law. He also announced that the Commission has resolved to clear all pending cases by August and is working on achieving zero pendency in 30 departments within the next two months. He added that awareness initiatives have already covered 11 districts, and by March next year, the Commission aims to bring transparency to all 22 districts by ensuring that 17 departments provide complete solutions to pending applications.
