Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur launched the online RTI portal of the Department of Administrative Reforms here today. HP became the first state among small states and fourth after Maharashtra, Karnataka and UP to launch such a portal.
Thakur appreciated the efforts of the department in launching the portal and said that it would facilitate people in applying for information and appeal under the RTI Act 2005 without visiting any public office. He said that the initiative would go a long way in reducing footfall in government offices and ensure timely access to information.
Information Technology Minister Ram Lal Markanda, Secretary, Administrative Reforms Sandeep Bhatnagar, Joint Secretary Rajesh Sharma and other senior officers were present. — TNS
