Right to Information petition

For those who already know something about the Right To Information Act of 2005:
There is an amendment to this act being worked on that would exclude 'file notings' from the purview of this act. This refers to the comments on the files that are made by the various people through whose desk the file passes. This would eviscerate the RTI to a large extent -- to quote from someone , you would know what the final decision was (which you would know anyway in most cases when the government implements the decision) but not how it was arrived at, thereby denying people of critical information to contest governement actions. Most of the NGOs are very pissed off and gearing up to fight it, and to the best of my understanding its a critical fight.

So if you want to sign the petition protesting this, go to:
