But what would you say when the information commission does not comply section 4(1)(b) of Right to Information act 2005. How can such an information commission exert pressure on other public authorities of its state to comply this most important section of RTI act 2005.This is the case with Uttar Pradesh State Information Commission. In Uttar Pradesh , the RTI activists toiled hard to ensure compliance of section 4(1)(b) of Right to Information act 2005 by UPSIC itself . Lucknow based social group YAISHWARYAJ took initiatives in August 2010 and the partial compliance of section 4(1)(b) was made by UPSIC in December 2010. Since then , UPSIC has done nothing to finish the incomplete work or even to update the information related to section 4(1)(b) that is there on its website. " Our group has sent memorandums attaching the pdf file containing obsolete information to Sri B. L. Joshi ,the Governor , Km. Mayawati , the Chief Minister & the minister of Nodal Department for implementation of RTI in state ( ARD Deptt. ) and Sri R. S. Pankaj , The Chief Information Commissioner of Uttar Pradesh with the clear demand that the UPSIC should show exemplary compliance of RTI act in all of its deeds if it wants the other departments to follow suit " said Ram Prakash , a senior member of YAISHWARYAJ. Recently YAISHWARYAJ has raised many relevant issues related to the weak functioning of UPSIC which include Competent persons of eminence be appointed as info-commissions , regular uploading of orders of UPSIC on its website , Compilation of one thousand blunders of UPSIC and complete compliance of section 4(1)(b) by UPSIC and all other Public Authorities of Uttar Pradesh.         http://www.allvoices.com/contributed-news/9141988-rti-activists-in-lucknow-mount-pressure-on-upsic-to-comply-section-41b-of-rti-act-2005 -- Urvashi Sharma RTI Helpmail( Web Based ) aishwaryaj2010@gmail.com Mobile Rti Helpline 8081898081 ( 8 A.M. to 10 P.M. )
