    1. There was no answer to starred as well as unstarred question tabled by the Chemical & Fertiliser Ministry in the Winter session.In the entire session through questions were slated (including Q 1900 raised by Dr J Waghmare) but none were taken up or replied.
    2. This makes it the privelege information of the Upper house till the reply is tabled.You may not get a response to the RTI till the question is taken up in the Budget session.

    This RTI seems to have already been filed, based on the Postal Order Number mentioned in the original application.

    Nevertheless, this is not an RTI, that qualifies to be filed Anonymously

    “this is not an RTI, that qualifies to be filed Anonymously” Why not any reason for that?
