the illegal construction of ground floor building of SOFOSH

…..

There are many more things that can be narrated, but here I would like to nail all lies, prove your incompetence, and bring to the attention of the Honorable Governor Mr. SC Jamir,, the Chief Minister Mr. Ashok Chavan, the Minister of Higher Technical and Medical Education, Mr. Rajesh Tope, the Medical Education Department’s principal secretary Mr. Bhushan Gagarani, veteran social worker Mr. Anna Hazare and all RTI activists and Citizens of the country as to how the RTI is being sabotaged and how guilty are protected by you. It will expose all your misinformation to the government officials. I now quote below:

1. Since past nine months, your office PIO has not provided complete information

relating to the illegal construction of ground floor building of SOFOSH. No building

plans, no approval, no information who constructed it, etc. I had gone in First

Appeal and was told by the PIO that there is no information on this in office

records. The PIO passed the buck on to the PWD, and there is no response.

I was informed in writing that the files were missing.

2. Another RTI application relating to the construction of new building of SOFOSH in

the hospital campus, I was told both by the PIO and AA that except for GR, all

other correspondence between the Dean and the government were not traceable

and files related to it are missing.

3. Though SOFOSH is operating from the hospital campus, the institution or the

Hospital has no records as files are missing about the number of children taken

for adoption from Sassoon General Hospital. The buck was passed on to SOFOSH

as their was no files or records available with the hospital. SOFOSH in a letter to

Sassoon PIO said that they are not aware of the numbers of children taken from

the hospital for adoption.

4. RTI filed on the illegal occupation of rooms in BJMC in other parts of the campus b

by a private Consumer Society. No documents, no records, are available with the

institution. In appeal, vague answers were given, and appellant was informed that

there is no files, and they are missing.

5. RTI filed in CET issue and no information was provided, instead the PIO made un

reasonable demand of fees to a tune of Rs. 8000 all for information that was not

sought at all. The PIO flattered wrongly in many ways, that can be proven that

attempts were made to harass by unreasonable demand, which the Dean is trying

wrongly to protect the PIO. This gives credence that the Dean is hand in gloves.

6. Verbal orders of the Information Commissioner have been shown contempt by the

Dean. The Info Commission always give verbal orders initially and decision are

sent later. The Dean failed to implement the orders. The Info Commissioner has

directed that info sought relating to government orders/government resolutions

relating to prisoners being admitted to special rooms be provided. Since April

this has not been given. No action has been taken on misleading, incorrect and

false information given by the PIO relating to this issue. Prisoners have been

admitted to Special rooms without Court orders.

7. The FAA and Dean despite finding the PIO guilty, did not move further than just

halting after given the PIO a show cause notice. Instead of moving further on

taking administrative action and recommending action, he had not done anything.

This exhibits the fishy role of the Dean.

8. Inspite of bringing to your attention several times in writing and verbally that FIR

should be filed for missing files and even after citing several decisions, no action is

taken to file the FIRs for the past several months.

These incidents are just the tip of the iceberg. There are several others documentary evidence to prove the Dean’s incompetency.

Now, Dr. Jamkar, how many things will you refute. All your lies will be exposed. You are doing a great dis-service both to the government and the Citizens by showing contempt to the RTI law and the IC orders. You are putting senior government officials in embarrassing situation.

Though I do not wish, but am compelled by the circumstances to tell the government to initiate a inquiry into all the issues that I have raised through RTI applications. All those found guilty should be punished.

Evidences will speak for itself as to how you have tried to protect and shield those responsible for scams and irregularities and how government had been put to loss.

Don’t threat the Citizens. Don’t mislead your senior officials and Don’t circulate disinformation, Dr. Jamkar. Enough is Enough. And mind well, I am not the one who will take any wrong things lightly. To serve the people is my mission and objective.

And finally please read the Preamble to the RTI Act. and specially the first para, That would be enough to understand the least for you.

Thanks and wish you all the best
