Nagpur, 01 Aug

(HS): For the first time after its constitution in 2005, a special sitting of the

Information Commission was held in Gadchiroli. As many as 100 second appeals

cases were entertained by the Commission, which was attended by the Chief

Information Commissioner, Rahul Pande, and the Information Commissioner of Nagpur Bench, Gajanan Nimdev.

The cases

pending till 2023 were disposed of under the ‘’Mahiti Ayog Aplya Daari’

Pande assured

that another meeting will be held to handle cases up to 2024-2025, with the

cooperation of the district administration.

labour, Nimdev said.

Secretary, Information Commission, Rohini Jadhav, and ten officers of the

Commission, and other staff were present.
