Fund Received and Spent
for COVID Hospital in Kendrapara district
65% of total fund for management of COVID Hospital, Kendrapara
spent for only fooding of doctors,
Paramedical staff and other staff , exposed
under RTI
To
access information relating to COVID Hospital management and expenses made for it is herculean task for
RTI Activists in the state of Odisha. This information are neither proactively disclosed
by the Govt. nor provided information under RTI within stipulated time period. In
almost all RTI Application cases, the PIOs provided information after filling
first and second appeal or complaints to the Information Commission. The PIOs deliberately made long delay in providing information about COVID
management or denied information on
flimsy ground. Information about Decision
taken at Govt. level to daily
declaration of death , recovery of
COVID patients or admission of patients in Hospital is still mystery , Despite several RTI Applications filed within six
months, not a single information has been shared by any Dept. .
