Central Information Commission disposes 768 appeals amid portal upgrade

The Central Information Commission is an office in India that helps people get answers from the government.

If someone asks the government for information and is unhappy with the reply, they can file an appeal.

The commission recently handled 768 appeals in just twelve days.

At the same time, the commission is fixing and improving its website portal.

The portal is where people send their appeals and check on their cases.

The repair work did not stop the commission's hearings.

A notice about the upgrade appeared on the website on July 24.

The improved portal is expected to open on August 17.

After it opens, the commission will update case information online.

The commission is also mailing its decisions to the people involved.
