Ambala, May 09 Former Ambala Cantonment MLA Anil Vij, alleged that information supplied to him by the executive officer of the Ambala Sadar Municipal Council under the Right to Information Act, 2005, was wrong and misleading. He had sought information regarding a plot of land — Survey Number 178 (Building Number 180-180/1-13) Minerva Complex Rai Market, Ambala Cantonment — from the state public information officer/estate officer, Ambala Sadar.

The MLA alleged that the information issued did not answer the questions raised by him in his application. “Instead, the MC authorities have twisted the information provided with regard to the present status of the Minerva Complex, which has been sublet by reconstructing a huge multi-storeyed building rented out for lakhs of rupees per month,” said Vij.

The issue was also raised by councillors in the general body meeting of the MC on Thursday. They demanded that the erring official be brought to book under the RTI Act. The executive officer said if the information was not to the satisfaction of the applicant, he should file a fresh application and additional information would be supplied.
