Another implementation failure

Right to Information Act stumbles in Mumbai

The right to information has been created with the best of intentions, but this again seeems to be going to become an implementation failure. This is also an example why the implementation is much more important than just creating the rules/rights. Once the initial euphoria dies down, this will again be a good law that did not work..

This reminds me of the rule that autorickshaw drivers should run on meters...but we know how many of them actually run by meters in delhi. Many just plainly refuse to take you. The few complaints that were made on the issue, even fewer led to challans as the initial owners had sold their autos to another third party since then.
