The Indian postal
department deserves all compliments for providing unique facility of accepting
RTI petitions addressed to central public authorities without requiring any
postal charge.
However,
this facility is presently available at just about 4500 post-offices out of a
total of about 160,000 post-offices in the country.
The
Department of Posts should make this facility available at all 160,000
post-offices in the country.
There
should be no operational problem in extending this service at all post-offices
of the country, because every post-office, however small it may be, sends a
post-bag in the evening to the head post-office.
This
post-bag apart from other items and currency also contains articles booked
through registered and speed post etc.
This post-bag sent from each post-office can also easily contain collected RTI petitions to be delivered at central public-authorities.
