RTI application for hospital infrastructure
I want to file an RTI application to get information about the infrastructure of a government hospital, such as the number of beds, equipment, and staff. Can someone please guide me on how to file the application and what sections of the RTI Act 2005 to mention?
Know the practical answer?

3 repliesYou can file an RTI application under §6(1) of the RTI Act 2005, asking for the information about the hospital's infrastructure. You should also mention §2(f) of the RTI Act 2005, which deals with the right to information.
You should also ask for the hospital's policy on maintaining infrastructure, as per §2(j) of the RTI Act 2005.
The best way to get this information is to file an RTI application with the hospital's PIO, citing §5(1) of the RTI Act 2005, which deals with the designation of PIOs.
