Himachal Govt Exempts Vigilance from RTI; Corruption Info Restricted for 'Sensitive Probes'

• Himachal Pradesh's Congress-led Sukhu government has excluded the Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau from the RTI Act.
• The decision, based on Section 24 (4) of the RTI Act, 2005, means citizens cannot directly access information from this department.
• Chief Secretary Sanjay Gupta's notification cites administrative reasons and sensitive investigation processes as the cause.
• Public disclosure of corruption-related information through RTI could affect ongoing investigations.
• Limited information can still be sought in cases of corruption and human rights violations as per law.
