Imphal, February 05 2020:
The Manipur Information Commission has issued a show cause notice to the SPIO/DC Churachandpur for not responding to an RTI application filed by one Angouba Yumnamcha till date and for failing to obey the directives of the Commission.
The directive issued by the Commission pointed out that the DC Churachandpur seems not serious about dealing with the RTI matters and as such, questioned as to why a penalty of Rs 250 per day or maximum of Rs 25,000 should not be imposed on the official for not responding to the RTI application of the petitioner till date, as well as disobeying the directives of the Commission.
Fixing the date of hearing on February 19, the Commission ordered the SPIO/DC Churachandpur to furnish the show cause notice on or before the date of hearing.
The Commission also directed the official to furnish the information sought by the petitioner on or before the date of hearing.
