U CAN FILE ANOTHER APPLICATION UNDER RTI WITH THE PIO OF THE STATE GOVT DEPT UNDER WHICH ROADS ARE BEING MADE. IF HE IS NOT HAVING, HE WILL REDIRECT TO THE CORRECT PIO WHO WOULD BE HAVING REQUIRED PAPERS, WITHIN 5 DAYS OF RECEIPT OF APPLICATION.

Under RTI Act, I applied on 26-2-08 to Surat Municipal Corpn. for some details regarding my plots. Till today, I have not received any reply / details from them. What to do now? Who is the next higher authority to be approached ? What is the procedure to be done? In which format application is to be made. Please give address of the site from where form can be downloaded and print taken. What is the time constraint for making the appeal to higher authority? If you can guide me the total procedure of Right To Information Act, I shall be obliged to have the same. With warm regards and thanks, Yours sincerely V D PATEL
