Punjab Government has asked all departments to display on boards the names and designation of Public Information Officers responsible for replying to queries under the Right to Information (RTI) Act.
Keeping in view the difficulties faced by the people seeking information under the RTI Act, all public authorities have been directed to display the names and designation of APIOs, PIOs and concerned Appellate Authorities on their display boards, a government spokesperson said here today.
The spokesperson said all departments had also been directed to ensure compliance of the instructions, and upload the same information on the department website. They had also been asked to send a compliance report to the Governance Reforms Department, the spokesperson added.
