RTI answer : Convicts serving jail terms despite completing their sentences decreed by court & no action by authorities to scrutinized the status of the prisoners in last five years.

RTI reply reveals : Convicts  serving jail terms despite completing their sentences decreed by court & no action by authorities to scrutinized the  status of the  prisoners in last five years. =============================================== I filed a RTI plea to check my viewpoint that  overcrowding in jail was a result of "unnecessary and unjustified arrests" coupled with slow judicial process. The RTI petition dated 04-10-09 is available at given link – http://aishwaryaj.hpage.com/rti_petition_re_u_p_jails_to_home_04oct09_27384349.html There was the problem of overcrowding with a total prison population of 83,805 against the authorized capacity of 44,439, partial reply by the department of Jail Administration and Reform Services to my RTI petition revealed that the overall overcrowding ratio was 1.89, the information released also indicated that in majority of the jails the occupancy was almost double the sanctioned strength. K B Joshi, Research Officer, department of Jail Administration and Reform Services department asked for more time on the pretext of collecting the relevant data to furnish rest of the info. Subsequently I filed first appeal on 15-11-09 followed by the second appeal in UPSIC on 23-12-09 against receipt no. 62491 . Case no. S1-38/A/09 got registered in UPSIC and was heard by UPCIC Ranjit Singh Pankaj on 12-01-10 & 27-04-10 . I was absent in all hearings .

Nuclear Risk

Hi babitasinghindia,

I have just signed a petition to put Indian interests above the interests of foreign nuclear corporations. Please see the mail below and sign the petition at http://www.greenpeace.org/india/en/Tell-manmohan-singh-to-stop-import-of-untested-nuclear-reactors/

Regards,

---

Last week over 600 people were arrested for standing up for their rights to live and work in safe surroundings. Over 2320 acres of land are being acquired by the NPCIL(Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd) to build 6 mega nuclear reactors in Ratnagiri district. The public protests have been suppressed using police violence and false charges^[1].

The NPCIL is planning to import expensive and unsafe nuclear reactors from French company, Areva. US and European nuclear regulators have identified severe flaws in the reactor and they have not approved the design.^[2]

Over 2000 people will lose their land and over 10,000 people will have their health and livelihood affected due to this plant. Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh has the power to stop the import of dangerous nuclear reactors and listen to the concerns of the local people.

Can you write a letter to Dr. Manmohan Singh asking him to put the interests of Indian people above the interests of foreign nuclear companies.

http://www.greenpeace.org/india/en/Tell-manmohan-singh-to-stop-import-of-untested-nuclear-reactors/

Most of the people around the region have refused the compensation offered by the goverment. Showing their opposition to the nuclear power plant, over 3000 people voluntarily risked jail and they have been joined by prominent figures such as former High Court judge B. G. Kolse-Patil, Admiral L. Ramdas and retired Supreme Court Judge P. B. Samant.

The Indian government is once again putting the profits of foreign companies above the interests of it's own people. Instead of putting people at risk we can provide safe electricity at a cheaper cost^[3] and much faster^[4] with decentralised Renewable Energy.

Write to Dr. Manmohan Singh now and put the safety of Indians first.
