...After closely studying the nature of RTI applications "almost 15% of the total number of rti applications received across maharashtra state came to the bmc last year. over the past few years alone, there has been a perceptible rise in the number rti applications" said Shailesh Gandhi The committee will also help the BMC to put up important information on the website
...that the city collector's office is clueless about another 103 properties that have been given out and hence does not know when those leases end. "some leases are renewed, while some are allowed to continue at the old rates. what are the reasons for such irrational actions? this is due to carelessness or corruption" said Gandhi
