Why File RTI for Area Development?
Have you been waiting for years for the drainage to be fixed, or a promised road construction to be completed? You’re not alone.
Across India, MP and MLA Area Development Funds worth crores are allocated annually, but only a fraction gets used transparently. The rest? Lost in files, corruption, or unaccounted.
By filing a Right to Information (RTI) application, you can demand records related to your area’s sanctioned budget, tender process, work completion status, and even contractor details.
This is your legal right under the RTI Act, 2005.
But here’s the catch—wrong filing = no response or rejection. That’s where RTIwala’s expert team comes in.
Common Issues in Local Development Projects
Despite government schemes, many development works stall or remain incomplete, such as:
- Ward roads never constructed despite full budget allocation.
- Drainage work pending for years.
- Street lights not working, though payment done to contractors.
- MLA fund works showing fake progress reports.
- Panchayat grants diverted or misused
Still trusting verbal promises? It’s time to verify on record.
You can file RTI for MLA fund utilisation, municipal tenders, contractor payments, and area-specific projects.
How to File RTI for Area Development Works
Filing an RTI for Area Development is easier than you think—especially with RTIwala.
Here’s how to do it:
Step 1: Identify the Public Authority
It can be:
- Urban Local Body (Municipal Corporation/Nagar Parishad)
- Rural Office (Panchayat or Zila Parishad)
- MLA/MP Constituency Office.
- PWD or RDD (for road and infrastructure).
- Electricity or Water Board.
Example: If drainage is pending, file it to Municipal Engineering Department or State Urban Development Authority.
Step 2: Frame Your Query.
Keep it specific. Example RTI questions:
- “Please provide certified copies of the sanctioned budget and utilisation under MLA fund for Ward 13 during FY 2022-23.”
- “What is the current status of road construction under tender XYZ in [Area Name]?”
