Dear friends
On 3.2.2017, I had submitted RTI Application to the PIO, Department of Home, Govt. of Odisha seeking  information about  details of Judicial Commission constituted  by Govt. of Odisha , date of submission of Report and details of action taken  following the recommendation of the Commission. On 12.4.17, the PIO supplied  the list of  Judicial Commissions and date of submission of the report and  ATR.

As per the information supplied by the PIO, it was observed that The Inquiry report on the Incident of police firing  at Kalinga Nagar in Jajpur district on 2.1.2006  was submitted  by Commission  ( Justice A.S.Naidu/P.K.Patra/P.K.Mohanty (retd) on 3.7.2015.  Out of 3 recommendations of the Commission, 2 have already been complied. Regarding payment of Additional ex-gratia, GA Deptt. Has already released  Rs.16,50,000.00 in favour of Collector, Jajpur  for disbursement to 27 injured  persons. It means prior to  Feb. 2017 or much before,   the State Govt. had released Rs. 16,50,000.00 towards payment of ex-gratia  to the victims of Kalinga Nagar police firing.

Finding   the abovemnetioned  information, RTI Application dated on 17.4.2017 was  submitted to the PIO, Dept. of General Administration  seeking information about details of  money disbursed to the victims of Kalinga nagar Police firing. On 22.4.17, the PIO, Dept. of GA   forwarded my application to the PIO, office of Collector, Jajpur which was again forwarded on 27.4.17 to the PIO, Office of ADM, Kalinganagar to provide the information. After receipt of RTI Application,  the administration started thinking how to disbuse the ex-gratia amount to the victims which is pending  and provide the information within stipulated time period.

As per the information supplied  by the PIO,  Disbursement of ex-gratia amount  was made  to the victims on 20.5.2017 . Total amount of Rs. 6,50,000.00  was disbursed to 9 victims on the said  fateful day. It means  out of Rs.16,50,000 released by Govt. for payment, district administration has released just Rs. 6,50,000.00. Rest Rs.10,00,000.00 is still pending with  the District Administration for disbursement.  The details of money against additional ex-gratia  disbursed to the victims on 20.5.17 is as follows.
