Sir,
According to the news item below, Govt has approved a
HUDCO proposal for Yamuna river area. I am not able to
locate on HUDCO website information expected under s.4
of RTI Act in order to be able to make a specific
application under s.6 about this. In this regard, I
tried to call your number over the last two days.
Today I called the PABX and could speak with Sh PC
Gupta who was kind enough to tell me you were out to
deliver training lectures and there is no APIO and to
confirm your e-mail id and assure me he would bring to
your notice at the earliest this e-mail. I would be
very grateful if you would reply to let me know:
1) where on HUDCO website is information about this
Yamuna river area proposal / approval published under
s.4
2) (if no information is published on the website
under s.4) when at the earliest can I inspect under
s.6 the files relating to the proposal / approval
(needless to say, I will deposit application and
processing fee when I inspect the files and deposit
further fee).
Thanking you
Yours sincerely
Gita Dewan Verma
