Now, citizens in Karnataka can avail services under the Right to Information Act (RTI) at the click of a button from their homes. For, the State government launched an online RTI facility on Tuesday.
Speaking after the launch, Sakala Minister S Suresh Kumar said that the state government had taken the step based on a Supreme Court order with regard to the same. With this, the process of both filing the RTI and appeals can be done online, by paying the requisite processing fee.
