" Howdy Trump"

The US has shocked India, the world’s largest democracy, by deporting illegal Indian immigrants- handcuffed with shackled legs. The US the oldest democracy, was expected to treat the deportees with dignity and empathy. Human rights violation. India is left with no option but to accept them to keep the US in good humour. This is the first tranche of deportees. More will follow in due course. India should be extremely circumspect in verifying the credentials / documents of deportees. The US has the sovereign right to decide on deportation in its national interest and security. However, there is a grave risk of some criminals, particularly those hailing from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal, to sneak into India, camouflaged as illegal immigrants. All things considered, there is a lesson to learn for India from the experience. On the analogy of action by the US, India should also carry out population cleansing by deporting illegal immigrants having infiltrated from neighbouring countries, irrespective of their religious identities and denominations, for possessing certain undesirable characteristics. The rohingyas, for instance, scattered across the country, pose a potential threat to India.

DATE WITH RTI

Selling parts of the seized vehicles

The RTI applicant alleged that the registered scrap dealer in association with the ASI of the Transport Department, Delhi, instead of sending the vehicle to the registered scrapping yard, opens it at another location and sells its parts. He stated that this information can be verified through the CCTV footage of the registered pang yard. After the vehicle is picked up by the Transport Department's team, it is checked whether the vehicle has gone to the registered pang yard at the given address or been sent elsewhere. After a few days, the owner receives messages regarding the registration and related payment on the provided phone number. The applicant sought certain information relating to the same.  The CIC held that the instant RTI application has not been adequately answered and directed the PIO to revisit the contents of RTI application and provide revised information. The CIC issued an advisory under Section 25(5) of the RTI Act to the Transport Department, GNCTD, for (i) amending the concerned Rules to incorporate the provisions for inspection of seized end-of-life vehicles to its owner; and (ii) upfront disclosure of information regarding Rules, Bye laws, SoP, Guidelines, Office Orders governing RVSFs (Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facilities) under Section 4 of the RTI Act in public domain, to make it easy for a layperson particularly vehicle owners to get relevant information through website.

Comments

The Transport Department has ordered the registered dealer to retain the engine number and chassis number by cutting and preserving them. The guidelines for releasing end of life vehicle (ELV) seized as part of enforcement drive should be put in public domain. If section 4 of the RTI Act is implemented fully, it would relieve the Public Authority of the burden of RTI Applications.
