Information about Hockey World Cup kept secret by Govt. of Odisha


3 months passed, No information about Hockey World Cup provided by State Govt.
Huge corruption, Irregularities and Mismanagement of fund for Hockey Cup game is noticed which is covered  up by Odisha  bureaucracy

Transparent Govt claimed  by Nabin Patnaik, Chief Minister, Odisha  is big  hoax.


Dear friends

In 2005, RTI Act was enacted to enforce   transparency and accountability in the administration and contain corruption. Since last 13 years, RTI has proved effective tool to fight out  corruption  in the country.  Chief Minister Nabin  Patnaik  claims his Govt. as most transparent  Govt. and has introduced 3T  and PEETHA yojana  to  enforce  transparency  in the implementation of  Govt. programme .

In 2018, State Government organized Hockey World Cup in Bhubaneswar with  much fanfare taking a lot of credit for organizing  such mega event in Bhubaneswar. RTI Application was   filed to different offices to understand  details of budget, expenses, events organized and correspondence made with Hockey event, contribution made by  corporate  houses  and others, details of fees  paid  to singers etc.  Though 3 months passed, the Department of Sports and Youth services, Govt. of Odisha , nodal  Department  for Hockey event  is not  providing  single information to all  information seekers.
