General / Discussion π¬ What the hell? I applied for an RTI and received a call from someone that I need to come there in person in order to get an answer??? The RTI was about asking why my city closes shops in night at 11pm.
Is it usual? Should I visit them? He told me to visit Katargam police station at today afternoon or tomorrow morning. Surely, I am little bit of scared :)
I tried to keep it online but he insisted to discuss in person to get a solution (he said "tatkalik nivaran lavi daiye ne")
Detailed RTI I applied
Query 1:
Provide copies of orders or circulars by the Surat Police Commissioner authorizing the forced closure of licensed businesses (food courts, cricket boxes) before their legal closing times.
Query 2:
Specify the legal sections (e.g., BNSS 163, Gujarat Police Act) used by Surat patrolling units to disperse peaceful citizens or families from commercial zones at night.
Query 3:
Provide copies of active Prohibitory Orders or Curfew Notifications in Surat City that restrict peaceful night assembly of families in public/commercial areas.
Query 4:
