New Delhi, March 29: Details of use of state government plane to ferry Union Carbide Chairman Warren Anderson out of Bhopal in 1984 are not available with the Madhya Pradesh government, state’s aviation directorate has said.
Responding to an RTI application seeking to know who had sanctioned the flight which took Anderson to Delhi soon after the Bhopal gas tragedy in December 1984, the aviation directorate, after nine months of the application having been filed, said information is not available as the matter is 26-year-old.
The information under the Right to Information Act should be provided within one month of receiving the application but the Aviation Directorate which got the application on June 26, 2010, did not respond to it till March 26, 2011. The reply comes only after a complaint against it was filed with the State Information Commission.
