The RTI Story of Ownership of Footpaths.....

On March 24, 2008, we had filed a Petition at the State Information Commissioner's office seeking information about the Ownership of footpaths on highways within the city. On June 26, 2008, we also filed a reminder but so far there is no news about the date of the posting of the case. What is interesting is that the GHMC is taking up the creation of a few footpaths ( in bits and pieces) on the highways.
The sufferer is the Poor Pedestrian who walks on the carriageway little realising that his life is at risk. When will the authorities wake up and give us back Our Footpaths? Or will the Pedestrian become an extinct species?
