KOCHI:Gone are the days when information officers returned RTI queries with
the lame excuse of ‘file missing’. In what could be termed as a major step
towards ensuring proper response to RTI queries under the RTI Act, the
State Government has issued a circular warning that improper replies by
public information officers could invite penal action, including
imprisonment for 5 years. RTI activists welcomed the circular, and opined
that it would put an end to the practice of officials purposefully hoarding
important files.

"The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of
laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the
umbrella of federal regulations."
Senator Ted Kennedy, in defending trucking deregulation in 1978.
