SIC to seek explanation from Kochi Corporation over move to share RTI applicants’ details

SIC will request Kochi Corporation to explain its decision to forward frequent RTI applicants' personal data to the Vigilance unit for financial background checks. The move may discourage citizens from filing RTI requests. SIC will seek the corporation’s resolution and will decide on further action after reviewing the response. This action follows concerns that the practice could undermine transparency and the right to information.
