A citizen’s report on functioning of the Government soon
It appears that the unaccounted actions and arbitrary decisions of many
government officials are going to face some real challenge ahead and may become
a thing of the past. Burning Brain Society (BBS) and Society for
Prevention of Crime & Corruption along with the support of many other national
and international organisations has decided to use the Right to Information Act
to bring out a citizen’s report on the functioning of various departments of the
government.
Announcing this new project today, Mr. Hemant Goswami, chairperson of BBS
revealed that beginning May 2006, every month at least one government department
shall be thoroughly scanned, scrutinized and evaluated for its public
functioning. An annual report on the overall health and functioning of the
Administration shall also be brought out at the end of every year. The citizen’s
report shall be freely available on the internet, published in associate
newspapers and in book form. Mr. Hemant further revealed that the entire effort
of preparation of the citizen’s report shall be totally done by public spirited
volunteers.
Lamenting the recent arbitrary decisions by the administrations like the one on
public transport, mushrooming of the liquor vends, proposal of a film city and
amusement park, etc. Goswami said, “The bureaucracy is taking the general public
for a ride and has become totally unaccountable and insensitive to the public
sentiment which needs to be changed.”
The departments which are initially planned to come under the BBS citizen’s
report are Law & Justice, Police, Education, Tourism, Sports, Health, IT,
Municipal Corporation, Labour, Housing, Civic facilities and such other
department providing citizens services.
BBS has also invited organisations and concerned citizens to volunteer for the
project. Those interested can call 0172-5165555 or e-mail at
