      The application is correct(points are clear) When you file the application you need to pay Rs 10 as the application fee NO FEE TOWARDS POSTAL CHARGES IS REQUIRED. I have been involved RTI with the above mentioned department, CSIDC, Ministry of MSME and GAD, Govt. of CG No where I was told to pay fee towards postal charges. Please do not include it this will also save the money.

    I will recommend that wee must file atleast 5 complaints from pgportal.gov.in in different names this will create a pressure on them

    Actually the department is purchasing wire that is hung in electric poles and towers
    It has taken bribe from large industries from outside the state
    1. who provide impure wire( instead of EC
    Grade (99.5% aluminium) it is of CG Grade
    (92.2% aluminium) This causes much line
    loss and thus electricity worth crores is
    wasted
    2. Distance b/w two poles is approx. 50 mts
    and per Rules if Bureau of Indian
    Standards 52 mts. of wire should be hung
    b/w two poles i.e. 2mts sag should be
    kept extra but large scale industries in
    collabration with the department provide
    only 50.5 mts. and get payment of 52mts.
    cost of 1.5 mts saved is 700rs. this in
    every 1KM they save about 1400 rs. and
    every year thousands KM of wire is
    purchased.
    3. Electricity is of common importance as it
    is key to development.

    There are many cases eg. less entry tax etc. which i have told to Ritesh

    If we file online complaint which is free of cost from 4 different corners (My City, Kharagpur,Pune,Delhi,Banglore ) it will be very effective.
