RTI Used To End Chennai Resident’s 15-Year Struggle

Mr. K. Velu, a resident of Chennai discovered that his ancestral property partition document did not have his name in addition to his brothers’. He approached the Vandavasi Taluk Office, to have his name added to the land patta document. For 15 years, he did not receive a responsible answer.

Mr. Velu found out about 5th Pillar, visited the office with proof his name belongs on the patta. An RTI petition was filed on his behalf on Oct 23, 2009. The Taluk office sent a detailed reply to all questions asked and a corrected land patta document.

Mr. Velu is very happy that 5th Pillar got his document for him in a month without bribery when he was struggling alone for 15 years.
