GSIC summons secretary to Governor over non-appointment of PIO

The Goa State Information Commission (GSIC) has summoned the secretary to the state Governor for the Raj Bhavan's "failure" to appoint a Public Information Officer under the Right to Information (RTI) Act.

Social activist Aires Rodrigues had filed a complaint against the Raj Bhavan recently under the RTI Act, saying that despite being a "public authority", the Goa Raj Bhavan has not appointed a Public Information Officer (PIO) so far.

The GSIC directed the Secretary to Governor to be present before the information commissioner on June 13, sources in the commission said.
