Respected Sir/Madam,

Despite the lapse of the statutory period of 30 days, no information has been provided to me till date, i.e., 15/08/2025. This constitutes a clear violation of Section 7(1) of the RTI Act, which mandates timely response to RTI requests.

    Information regarding the public staff who processed grievance GOVUP/E/2025/0049116, including their name, designation, appointment details, and posting history in Mirzapur and DIOS office.

    Documents from the inquiry that justify the denial of minimum wages to a qualified teacher, as per UP government norms.
  3. Notice of Expulsion:
    Copy of any notice served prior to the applicant’s arbitrary dismissal from the institution.
  4. Salary Discrepancy Explanation:
    Justification for salary payments of ₹11,328 (February) and ₹11,308 (March), which fall below the prescribed minimum wages for skilled workers.
  5. Compensation Mechanism:
    Details of the mechanism available to claim arrears and ensure compliance with minimum wage norms by affiliated institutions.

📌 Submissions:

  • The RTI application was duly received by the public authority on 14/07/2025.
  • As of today, 15/08/2025, no response has been issued.
  • The statutory period of 30 days has expired.
  • The PIO has failed to discharge their duty under Section 7(1) of the RTI Act.

🙏 Prayer:

  1. Kindly direct the PIO, DIOS Mirzapur, to furnish the requested information without further delay.
  2. Please initiate appropriate disciplinary proceedings against the PIO for non-compliance with the RTI Act provisions.

I trust that the FAA will uphold the spirit of transparency and accountability enshrined in the RTI Act and take prompt action in this matter.

4 responses to “Filing an RTI Appeal with DIOS Mirzapur: Step-by-Step”

  1. There is rampant corruption in the working of the department of education in the Mirzapur district because of the rampant corruption in the working of the local authorities.

  2. The factual position is that district inspector of school Mirzapur is running away from providing information concerning the payment of minimum wages prescribed by the government of Uttar Pradesh for the private staff engaged in the private sector.

    Right to information act 2005 was introduced by the government of India during the regime of Congress to promote transparency and accountability in the working of the public authorities. It seems that Bhartiya Janata party government in Central and state have thrown the transparency act into a dustbin.

  4. If the officers like district inspector of school Mirzapur and others will not provide information to the information seekers seeking information to promote transparency and accountability in the working then how the corruption growing like Jungle fire in the public system will be controlled.
