Mumbai Housing Department's RTI Data Surfaces After Inquiry

Mumbai Housing Department's RTI Data Surfaces After Inquiry

Imagine someone asked for information from the government about how many people asked them questions (RTI applications).

The government initially said they didn't get any requests.

But after a news report and a request to get the information, they suddenly found the data.

An activist, Mehul Hariya, is concerned because the dates on the documents seem fishy.

He thinks the government may have made up these records after the fact.

This makes it look like the government isn't being completely honest about what it's doing and raises questions about how trustworthy the information is that is provided in government reports.
