Save our Mulund

RIGHT TO INFORMATION PETITION

In response to one of the posts from a resident staying near Deep Mandir about power problems, I want to announce that I am filing a RTI Petition against MSEB.

Just to highlight one more incident about MSEB, I usually receive one in every three bills generated by them. It is a regular routine in my office to go to the MSEB office in Mulund (E) and collect a copy and then stand in a line to make a payment.

Now, this month, I have received a bill for an amount of TWO months, including for a bill for which I have made a payment by cheque. Today morning, when my man went to the MSEB office in Mulund (E) to get the bill rectified, he was told "The concerned person who handles the Sarvodaya Nagar devision has not come. You please come back tomorrow." He had the audacity to point out to a group of 5-6 people standing there and say that they were also waiting for that person. DISGUSTING, MR. PRADEEP NICHANT!! WAKE UP!!!

I will just add that if there are some more Mulundiites who are awake and wish to be heard, please call me on 9892644777. Maybe your feedback will help in the RTI Petition.

Let us make a difference before it is too late.

Save our Mulund

Hi all,

It has been a long time since I have made a post. My due apologies about that.

As all of us have been watching the news and are aware about the RTI Act. There are certain volunteers based in Mumbai who are willing to come across and train citizen groups numbering 20 and above. We are aware that this Act is very empowering to the common man, however, we should be aware of how to use it.

Now that the government has given some powers to the common citizen, it is time we came forward and made use of this act to good effect.

All those of you who are interested in meeting up and getting more information about the RTI Act and how to use it can call me on 9892644777.
