Seven RTI benches proposed to be set up in Karnataka

Rs 30 lakh in penalty has been recovered from more than 600 officials for failure to provide information, while 8,000 cases are still pending for disposal, Sajjan said.

He also highlighted the need to create public awareness on RTI.
Such benches are functioning in Maharashtra, Sajjan said.

Deputy Commissioner Jiddimani said the state Revenue Department has submitted a Rs 350 crore proposal to the government for establishing record rooms for RTI-related matters in taluks and districts.
