The Central Information Commission (CIC) on Wednesday said an Army Welfare Housing Organisation (AWHO) official not providing information on sale of flats in Noida casts a “rather murky shadow on the affairs of the organisation” and referred the matter to the Army Chief.
The transparency panel made the comments while hearing an RTI applicant’s plea seeking information from the Army Headquarters on sale of flats of a defaulter private builder’s project at Noida’s Sector 143 to Army personnel as advertised by the AWHO in February 2018. AWHO Secretary Colonel Abhishek said he would not be sharing the information under the RTI with the Army Headquarters even after the CIC’s orders.
