The Maharashtra government would appoint new Chief Information Commissioner (CIC) within four weeks, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Wednesday told the Legislative Council. Raising the issue through a Point of Propriety, Congress member Sanjay Dutt said the assurance given by the chief minister on appointing the new CIC during the winter session held in Nagpur in December last, has remained unfulfilled. Dutt said non-appointment of CIC was adversely affecting the people's right of filing RTI (Right to Information) applications and that more than 50,000 RTI appeals are pending in the state.
