520			_aRight to information act (RTI) 2005 is emerging as a potent weapon in the hands of citizens for ensuring transparency and accountability in administration. The functioning of bureaucracy, which was shrouded in the veil of secrecy, was causing lot of harassment to the common man. The RTI Act has brought relief to the much harried and harassed citizens. Even though these are the early days, it has started realising its potential. The Act contains 31 Sections, the crux lies in its Section 4, which makes it obligatory on the part of various public agencies to not only maintain its records in a set format, but also update it on a regular basis. It is believed that if the information is not maintained as per the provisions of the Section 4 by the concerned agencies, it will not be possible for them to provide the information to the information seekers. therefore, it is important rather vital to ensure the compliance by various public organisations with the provisions contained in the Section 4 of the RTI Act, if the spirit of RTI is to be upheld. - Reproduced.
